    I noticed via gtmetrics that this plugins adds to page load speed making it a bit slower

    any recommendations on how to improve this?
    currently this plugin with the url /wp-json/wordpress-popular-posts/v1/popular-posts/

    takes about 450ms which alone is almost 0.5 seconds

    the thing is it doesnt start to load as soon as page is loaded but instead waits for certain things on the page to load before it starts which is where it adds damage to the page speed

    if it can load in parallel with other objects then it will be not have negative effects but because it waits before it starts loading is where the problem is

    i have enabled caching and have both server caching and object caching but still this thing still takes 0.5s and doesnt start to load immediately as page is requested

    The response speed of the REST API (/wp-json/) is, unfortunately, beyond the control of the WPP plugin: that’s core WordPress/server territory. If you have already enabled the pageviews cache then there’s nothing else WPP can do.

    Fine tuning a WordPress website for performance is no easy task. Have a look here, maybe you’ll find something you can try to further improve your site’s speed: WordPress Optimization.

    P.S

    Some requests it is much faster like 250ms but like i said will be great if it can load right when page is requested

    Yeah am doing even more than the url you sent is recommending
    My setup is pretty advanced is on same level as the managed wordpress hosting platforms mentioned

    But i think i will figure a way out, seems it starts loading after all html/css are loaded, so will try to otpimize the html/css down to the teeth

    thanks for your blazing fast response
    nice plugin by the way
    going to give it a 5 star now
