 * Dear Developer,
 * Giving users the ability to delay the JavaScript of the Instagram plugin until
   the main page has loaded will significantly improve google page speed scores (
   i.e. [https://pagespeed.web.dev/](https://pagespeed.web.dev/)). Currently, when
   I do a page speed test, Google complains that the Instagram-feed/css/sbi-styles.
   min.css file is blocking the first paint of my page. A work-around to solve this
   would also be great.
 * Thanks a lot in advance!

 * Hi [@arcety](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arcety/),
 * Thank you for reaching out to us for assistance. A setting that may help with
   this is _Instagram Feed > Settings > Advanced > AJAX theme loading fix_. It’s
   also possible to dequeue and then manually load the JS and CSS files: [https://smashballoon.com/doc/dequeing-the-plugin-files/](https://smashballoon.com/doc/dequeing-the-plugin-files/)
 * I will also share your feedback with our development team so they can check into
   this further. If you need any more assistance, please send us a support ticket
   here: [https://smashballoon.com/support/](https://smashballoon.com/support/)
 * Best regards,
 * Louis
