Hello. I am brand new to elfsight and so far I am enjoying the product. However, I experience extremely long load time on the backend when I attempt to edit or load a widget. The front end (display on my site) works fine, but I find I have to wait several minutes to get the manage feature to load…

Hi @Kevin13 ! Welcome to Community :tada: I am so sorry about this inconvenience! I’ll be more than happy to check things for you! Could you please send me an e-mail connected to your Elfsight account and a screenshot of the Developer Console ? Also, a video screencast of the issue would be highly …

I’m having the same issue. I ended up having to switch to Safari and it was able to load much faster. I prefer to work in Chrome for a lot of reasons but in regards to Elfsight–the developer tools are easier to use for customization.

Hi @Kevin13 ! We’ve disabled the script you are talking about. Could you please check the dashboard and let me know how it works now?
