 * Hi,
 * More of a question than anything else, but does having the plugin have an effect
   on website speed? I assume that since it is for the back-end, it may slow down
   the admin dashboard, but not front-end… right?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello [@joshgrisdale](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joshgrisdale/) thanks
   for your questions. You can find out more about front-end performance with Site
   Kit on our page [here](https://sitekit.withgoogle.com/documentation/using-site-kit/front-end/).
 * If you are experiencing any performance issues which you believe are the result
   of the Site Kit plugin then we will be happy to look into these for you to see
   if we can find any cause.
 * Is there anything else I can help you with?

 * Hi,
 * So:
 * Frontend for non-admin is just the one meta-tag and the tags for analytics (installed
   as if copied from analyics etc) , but thats it.
 * Admin users will have a bit more code (for admin bar etc).
 * Gotcha!
 * Thanks!

 * Same for me, it slowed down my site by 20 points when I was testing via [https://pagespeed.web.dev](https://pagespeed.web.dev)
   
   So I simply disabled their spyware and my site is happy again.After searching
   online I found out that there are a lot of other disappointed user out there,

 * Adam, not sure why you are sending me this vanilla reply and wanting me to open
   a new support ticket.
 * I am simply showing support to Josh and not wanting to get into a discussion 
   with a level 1 support from SiteKit.
 * Have a great day
