Slow loading IFrames

Post by hecticlyrelaxed »

Hello,
I have implemented a handful of Iframe forms from a 3rd party marketing automation program into our CMS site. The problem is they are super slow loading. Our site developer has been unable or unwilling to address this issue. Does anyone have any insight on to what may fix this problem. Can we set a priority to have the forms load before other website features?

Thank you in advance for any insight that may be helpful!

I took a look at this - and your right - it's slow!

I don't think your developer can do much about this, the service that you're using for the form is simply slow - it's up to them to make it faster!

You may be able to cache the form and display it on your site rather then use an iFrame, but it's hard to know without access to your system!

Maybe you can use:

It is important that the form does NOT use (hidden) unique values every time it's loaded. So test-test-test.

velden, are you available to remedy a project like this as a paid gig? Our goal is to get these forms loading faster and we do not have anyone capable to work on this project presently.

I'm not, sorry for that.

Note that the bad performance is caused by the 3rd party, not you nor your web developer. An iframe is just a webpage inside a webpage.

If you want control consider using own forms. I do not know however what 'marketing automation program' means exactly so don't know if the standard form options of cmsms suite your needs.

There is a forum board where you can request for commercial help btw.
