Hi Kadence team,

I love Kadence Conversions but it has a big impact on my mobile PageSpeed scores.

So on a site I run on SiteGround mobile scores went from 92 to 66 on the pages where I used an exit intent pop up. I downloaded the Flying Scripts plugin which had 0 positive impact.

Then I fired up a test site on Kinsta. Scores there dropped too, and Flying Scripts also had no impact.

The best results came from Cloud86 (local Dutch host) + LiteSpeed Cache. Before using Kadence Conversions Exit intent popup the mobile speed is 100, after it’s 86. Btw, I tried all settings: Javascript delayed, Javascript deferred etc. Also cleared caching multiple times (LiteSpeed cache purge and browser cache purge).

No luck.

Here’s the page I tested at Cloud86 with the popup.

Here’s a page without the popup.

Screenshots showing the before / after speed results and the LiteSpeed Cache settings:

PageSpeed tells me that:

“Eliminate render-blocking resources
0.86 s
Resources are blocking the first paint of your page. Consider delivering critical JS/CSS inline and deferring all non-critical JS/styles. Learn more.FCPLCP
WordPress
There are a number of WordPress plug-ins that can help you inline critical assets or defer less important resources. Beware that optimisations provided by these plug-ins may break features of your theme or plug-ins, so you will likely need to make code changes.

So basically my question is: what am I missing here? What can I do in order to not have Kadence Conversions load first thing when users are opening a page and have it impact my speed scores?

Any help would be much appreciated!
