Hey Ron,

It shouldn't take that long unless you have enabled the sending email on page load or configured Komento to run on Development mode. Either way, it definitely should not take that long to render Komento.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I removed almost anything, did got some slight improvement (100-200ms). I do wonder why Komento is still loading fancybox/default.css ?

Hello Ron,

I've fixed this internally and will be included in the next release soon.

Thanks Nick.

You are most welcome Ron

I installed v 2.0.8, but I must say that this extension is just not optimized for loading speed. The comment system account for 50% of the loading time (xammp php 7, cache disabled and no optimization script) without Kommento: 700-900ms; with kommento (zero comments) : 1.6-1.8 sec.

I have tested it now with the old jcomments.. the same settings: 1.05-1.1sec.

Hey Ron,

Could you please provide me with,

1. Superadmin access to your site
2. FTP access to your site
3. The link to Komento
4. The link to JComments

Hi,

Sorry but it's on a localhost so I don't have any links for you.

I am sorry for the delay of this reply, perhaps you can temporary upload to one of the test site, so that we can check it?

Hi,

I didn't had the time to deal with it, but I have spent some time on it now. I think it's the templates which makes it slow. It's not optimize at all. For example, You should allow the user to set if the template should load icons (font-awesome or bootstrap) most templates use it so why to load it again?

Sure, komento is a feature rich comment system, but with not a lot of work you can easily (as the developer) reduce a lot of it's weight and make it a lite comment system for people who just want simple comment system.

Regards,
Ran

Thanks for the input on this, we'll consider this in the next release. The main reason that we render our own font awesome is because some templates actually modify font awesome and some of them are outdated. We cannot 100% rely on the template itself.
