Hi everyone,
I’m integrating Calendly into my website to allow visitors to book appointments directly. I’ve used the embed code provided by Calendly, and it’s working fine. However, I’ve noticed a slight delay in page load times since adding the embed.
Here’s what I’m currently doing:
- Using the inline embed option to display the booking widget on a dedicated page.
- My website is built on WordPress, and I added the embed code using a custom HTML block.
The problem is:
- Page load times have increased by about 1-2 seconds since embedding Calendly.
- Tools like Google PageSpeed Insights are flagging external scripts as the cause.
I’d love advice on:
- Optimizing the Calendly embed for faster load times.
- Whether there’s a way to lazy-load the widget so it doesn’t affect initial page rendering.
- Any alternative methods for integrating Calendly that might perform better.
Thank you in advance for your help!
