 * Any plans to add asynchronous support to the WP plugin? This is the only thing
   keeping us from deploying AddThis across all our brand sites – the hit on page
   speed is too significant.

 * [@asterix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asterix/): AddThis code is designed
   to maximise efficiency without affecting content load speed. If you are testing
   with PageSpeed tool, you might see warnings. But be assured that AddThis heavily
   caches the assets and PageSpeed does the testing ignoring the cached content.
   Please refer the answer here: [http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/questions/1402678-google-page-speed-warnings](http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/questions/1402678-google-page-speed-warnings)

 * It’s not just the Google PageSpeed value, it’s results (asset load times, priorities
   and sizes) from tools.pingdom.com reports. If we disable AddThis, we see a significant
   reduction in page load time.
