# Load time thoughts?

 * Any thoughts on how this plugin effects performance of ad loading via google 
   DFP?
    We have a large news site that already has many, many plugins… hoping to
   convince the site admin that this plugin is both beneficial, and not hindering
   site performance. Any thoughts? Thanks.

 * Also, Just happened to notice the jQuery library, for DFP ads, thought it looked
   interesting, sharing the link:

 * I can say I have it running on a site with 400k+ uniques a month with no problems.
   The code itself uses core WordPress APIs (Custom Post Types) and metadata to 
   create the positions, so it’s cacheable and everything without needing custom
   implementation. The JS itself is also very lightweight. The source code is available
   for you to checkout here: [https://github.com/ThatGerber/dfp-ads](https://github.com/ThatGerber/dfp-ads)
 * The library here doesn’t use jQuery, because I didn’t want to include a JS dependency
   where it wasn’t needed, especially jQuery. The plugin marks it as a dependency,
   but that’s for extentions (though it probably could be removed). Check out this
   talk on [why you don’t need jquery]([http://wordpress.tv/2014/05/08/josh-broton-you-dont-need-jquery/](http://wordpress.tv/2014/05/08/josh-broton-you-dont-need-jquery/))–

 * Thanks for you insights Chris.
    I plan to implement sitewide using your DFP Ad
   Manager plugin, to a site with approx. 1-mil page views per month. Will let you
   know how it goes. My thinking is page load should be better, since with the plugin
   we’ll be able to use async ad loading, that should help a lot, esp. on days when
   Google DFP may be running sluggish.
 * I’ve not had any problems on this particular site with the plugin.
 * In some of my other threads, I was speaking to some bugs in the ads not appearing
   as they should/where they should.
    It may have been a conflict with that particular
   theme, on that first site I experimented with. On I’m planning to implement in
   the next few days, testing and setup went smooth as silk with DFP Ad Manager,
   on the dev site. Hoping moving to the live site goes as well. Our servers did
   not like WordPress 4.3 so I may wait until 4.3.1 is out of the box, to go ahead.
   Just depends, the marketing/sales dept. wanted to launch impressions based ad
   sales on Sept. 1, waiting to hear from them also.
 * Thanks again for all your hard work, and brain-power on this plugin!
