 * This plugin adds roughly 300ms of total blocking time. Deactivation fixes the
   issue. Is there a setting in the plugin that can defer the loading issue?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftotal-blocking-time-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@rrestani](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rrestani/) thanks for getting
   in touch. There isn’t a setting within the plugin to defer loading. I’d be happy
   to check your setup to see if anything in particular stands out. To do this, 
   could you share your [Site Health information](https://i.imgur.com/Rtkmsba.png).
   You can[ use this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1lhjns2K7c0Ny7ME4gxTcsnYtNUtcMr8BvFpPQi23Y1E/)
   to share privately if preferred. 
 * I’d also like to point you to our [Front-end performance with Site Kit page](https://sitekit.withgoogle.com/documentation/using-site-kit/front-end/)
   which may provide you with some further useful information on performance when
   using Site Kit.
 * We have also been carrying out an internal performance audit on Site Kit where
   we are still evaluating the data. Early findings from the audit show that there
   are generally no concerning performance degradation when comparing Site Kit added
   code vs manually added script tags.
 * There are other areas we are looking to improve upon once the audit is complete
   but with this in mind, you shouldn’t be experiencing any significant performance
   issues as the result of using Site Kit on your site.

 * Hi Adam, thanks. I submitted the info about the site as requested. I read through
   the link you provided as well. In my case I have A/B tested using the pagespeed
   site how my site loads with site kit activated vs. deactivated and when its activated
   it adds 300ms to “total blocking time” and directly affect the page and lowering
   the score to the low 70’s high 60’s.

 * [@rrestani](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rrestani/) Thank you for submitting
   the information. I can’t see anything that particularly stands out here. You 
   do have a number of plugins activated on your site which will inevitably contribute
   to longer load times on your site.
 * You could also try comparing the load times when you have manually placed the
   Google service codes on your site to when Site Kit is placing these codes. You
   should see similar results when doing this.
 * As mentioned above also we are still in the process of reviewing our data on 
   Site Kit and site performance and will make any improvements where we see there
   needs to be.
 * Let me know if you have any further questions.
