People have been rightly complaining about the Google “Plus One button loading too slow” problem. Google has been working to solve the problem since it got notified about the load time.
It has, on its end made a set of changes that will make the +1 button load 3x faster on your site and has also introduced a new async snippet that, once implemented, will also improve your page load time.
The announcement about the changes was made by software engineer—David Byttow on the official Google Webmaster Central blog who wrote that:
“In addition to the improvements made to the button, we’re also introducing a new asynchronous snippet, allowing you to make the +1 experience even faster. The async snippet allows your web page to continue loading while your browser downloads the +1 JavaScript. By loading these elements in parallel, we’re ensuring the HTTP request to get the +1 button JavaScript doesn’t lead to an increase in your page load time.”
If you have already implemented the button, you need to update the code to the new async snippet to see an overall improvement in your page load time.
Use the +1 Configuration Tool and generate the new snippet.
