 * Hello [@chrisatwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisatwp/) and thanks
   for your topic. Site Kit should not cause any performance issues on your site
   and simply places the relevant code snippets needed by the connected Google Services.
 * These snippets are placed within the source code of your site as they would be
   manually. I would be happy to have a look to see if there is anything that stands
   out that could be causing any noticeable performance problems if you’re happy
   to provide Your [Site Health information](https://imgur.com/Rtkmsba) or you can
   share privately via [this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1lhjns2K7c0Ny7ME4gxTcsnYtNUtcMr8BvFpPQi23Y1E/edit).
 * It may be worth also checking the [Analytics Help Center](https://support.google.com/analytics/)
   to see if there is anything here that can help you.
 * Please let me know if you have any further questions.

 * Site Kit by Google
    I’m not able to include images in this post, so please look
   at the link, it will explain to you what my concern is or confusion is.
 * Site Kit should not cause any performance issues

 * [@chrisatwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisatwp/) thank you for screenshots.
   We do have a guide on the [Front-end performance with Site Kit](https://sitekit.withgoogle.com/documentation/using-site-kit/front-end/)
   which will explain more what Site Kit is doing when using it.
 * I can see the difference between the two with and without Site Kit so would be
   happy to check things on your side to see if there is anything that stands out
   such as a possible conflict with the Site Kit plugin that could be causing performance
   issues. If you could provide Your [Site Health information](https://imgur.com/Rtkmsba)
   privately via [this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1lhjns2K7c0Ny7ME4gxTcsnYtNUtcMr8BvFpPQi23Y1E/edit)
   then I’d be happy to check this.
 * As stated in the guide ‘Site Kit makes the same http requests that are made when
   such Google services are connected manually’ so it would be useful to see if 
   you get the same performance stats when placing your Tag Manager and Analytics
   snippets manually. You could do this while temporarily disabling the Site Kit
   plugin.

 * I have filled in the form.
    My Google Analytics work fine. It is just the plugin.

 * [@chrisatwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisatwp/) thanks for providing
   the information. I can’t see anything that stands out from the Site Health provided.
   At this point I would suggest trying to place the Analytics and Tag Manager snippets
   manually on your site and then checking your page speed results once more.
 * If they are the same as when having Site Kit activated then this would indicate
   that it is not caused by the plugin itself. We are limited to support for the
   Site Kit plugin here so please do try this and let me know if manual placement
   results differ from Site Kit placed ones and if so we can look into this further
   for you otherwise I would suggest reaching out to each service support center
   for more help.

 * If automatic ads are enabled, it can show too many ads and this increases the
   loading time of the ad. Another problem is delaying the loading time of the site.
   Sometimes when I test my site ([https://yerliteknoloji.net](https://yerliteknoloji.net))
   with a mobile browser, I slowly scroll through the content, but the ad loads 
   later. In other words, the user does not always see the ads. I also wanted to
   point this out.
