Forced reflow warning from plugin

Hi, I’ve been working to improve my site’s performance, and I discovered the cleantalk plugin is producing a performance warning on pagespeed insights:

The file below is producing a “Forced reflow” warning. Is there some way to eliminate this from some setting in the plugin, or is it possible to tweak the plugin code to eliminate the issue in a future update? Thanks

/wp-content/plugins/cleantalk-spam-protect/js/apbct-public-bundle_comm-func.min.js

Per PSI: “A forced reflow occurs when JavaScript queries geometric properties (such as offsetWidth) after styles have been invalidated by a change to the DOM state. This can result in poor performance. Learn more about forced reflows and possible mitigations.”

We also found that disabling the ‘Show email existence alert when filling in the field’ option can help fix the issue.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately “Show email existence alert” was already disabled for me so that must not have been the cause. Could there be another cause of the forced reflow?

Unfortunately, there are no other suggestions for now. Please wait for the planned general fixes.
