I’d like to know that too.. @deadparrotsoftware – what is your experience?
yes – this plugin impacted our site, by creating unlimited redirects which stopped the entire server from working. We removed the plugin and used the script that is inserted between the <head></head> tags and that appeared to solve our problem.
Dave, I’m a bit of a novice working with php. can you be a little more specific regarding your removal of the plugin? thanks
nysky This plug effectively does the same http://www.tawktomanager.org/ and does work properly for all options. Hope this helps!
Sorry @dave that should be.

There should not be any performance impact on the site, as the javascript code provided by tawk.to is Asynchronous, meaning that it doesn’t block your site page load at all.
Page load speed is not the ONLY way a chat can impact a server – we tested one that, after 3 days, had created SO many temp files it used up ALL the inodes available in the tmp directory and locked up the server.

@deadparrotsoftware where were these tmp files located? It may be a permission issue with the php handler not being able to delete them? If not I’d like to set up a cronjob to periodically empty them every day.

@deadparrotsoftware tawk.to is not a self hosted solution, so we do not store anything on your server at all.
tawk.to is completely cloud based, all of the resources come from our servers, not yours.
