Potential SPOF: 1 3rd-party request is blocking page rendering

Created on 26 January 2024, 11 months ago

Problem/Motivation

I discovered this issue when running WebPageTest against a website of ours, here's what it said:

By default, references to external JavaScript and CSS files will block the page from rendering. Third-party blocking requests are particularly risky, as your page's access relies on their response time and availability.'

https://unpkg.com/quicklink@2.2.0/dist/quicklink.umd.js

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable Quicklink module and use defaults.
2. Run website through a test at WebPageTest.org

Proposed resolution

Defer loading of quicklink.umd.js.

We have a note in the docs to download the library locally for performance reasons. See https://www.drupal.org/docs/contributed-modules/quicklink/installing-the... →

Oh that's great!

I can't apply those steps right now but will open a new ticket if I have issues? Or keep this one open?

Maybe we should add a message under the "Status update" page if the file isn't local?
