PageSpeed Insights Problems with Afterpay square-marketplace.js

[jbolger]

Hi guys,

I use Afterpay via the WooCommerce plugin. The plugin started introducing Square JS around 6 months ago.

Since this introduction I have noticed we are being flagged by PageSpeed Insights for third party JS blocking:

I raised a ticket at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/square-marketplace-js/ which has been ignored by Square developers for 3 months.

Can someone at Square please take a look at this as retailers are being penalised for being Square merchants.

Thanks,
Jason

The team is looking into this.

I too have noticed this code slowing multiple of our ecommerce sites. Sites that accept Afterpay via Stripe load much quicker and are not delayed. Let’s hope for a resolution soon, now that the right people are aware of the issue.
