Delayed loading of interactive tool section when using Kadence Theme

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing a performance issue on a site built with the Kadence WP theme and wanted to see if anyone else has run into something similar.

Most of the page loads quickly, but a specific interactive tool section takes a few extra seconds to become fully usable, especially on the first visit. The layout and text appear fast, but the tool itself seems to wait on scripts before becoming responsive. On mobile connections the delay is even more noticeable.

Example page where this happens:
*Login to see link

What I’ve checked so far:

Hosting performance seems normal (other sites on the same server load fast)

Page caching is enabled

Images are optimized and lazy loading is active

I temporarily disabled most plugins, but the delay still occurs

Browser console shows some JavaScript loading after initial render, though no major errors

I’m wondering if this could be related to:

How Kadence handles script loading for dynamic sections

A block or layout feature that defers JS

A performance or optimization setting I may have missed

Has anyone dealt with slower-loading interactive sections or tools inside Kadence layouts? Any guidance on what to test next would really help.

Thanks!
