Mobile form speeds failing

Jennifer Anderson

Hi Community,

We have been using an api form that had really low page speeds for mobile via google page speeds insights. We built out an out of the box form to test if the page speeds were better and they are just a few points better but still in the red zone. It appears that all the fixes are convio files that aren't able to be removed. This is the word from the LO developers too. Anybody have this problem? Anybody have any fixes?


Here is a link to the latest Out of the box form https://secure2.convio.net/nyulmc/site/Donation2;jsessionid=00000000.app20094a?df_id=6555&mfc_pref=T&6555.donation=form1&NONCE_TOKEN=D43B276F6EAE3210D154EA857B03849C


Results from google page speeds insights is in the red at 25.

Oh yea, LO is not super optimized. And frustratingly you have to add a ton of styles yourself to override the BB styles you can't get rid of.

You could move that API form out of LO entirely and host it elsewhere. I've been planning on doing that myself for the same reasons. You don't get to use S-Tags anymore, which is inconvenient but not impossible to deal with.

I've also seen a few sites use some JS to detach the BB style sheets, but I haven't messed with that much.
