Hi,
I noticed with several clients that the BTBuckets script has a negative impact on the load time of the webpage. It was the reason some clients don't want to put the script on their website anymore, as long as this doesn't change. Does anyone else has this same problem? @BTBuckets team: are you able to solve this problem?

The more "apps" you load through the script the slower things will get. My suggestion would to turn the script asynchronous so it loads in parallel with the rest of the page or minimise the amount of "apps" you are loading through it.

One in particular is http://friendlybit.com/js/lazy-loading-asyncronous-javascript/ It might do the job for you. I believe
We on the other hand use a tag management solution (Tealium) which automatically converts all tags to asynchronous scripts. It allows us to manage all the scripts on our clients websites without having them needing to touch any code after they put the tag container on their website. Very handy :)

If you do need to use the asynchornous tag immediately, we recommend you sign-up with http://siteapps.com and create the buckets in that interface (it's our sister product). Their native tag is asynchronous.
Thank you,
