    GTmetrics shows that the difference between our page loading time with and without the embedded form is more than 2 seconds.

    How can we decrease form loading time?

    Thanks.

    There are a lot of things to consider if you want to improve the page load time.

    1). Server from where you hosted the site — Users doesn't have control how much traffic the server receives. Please note that for each hosted account, you are sharing bandwidth with other subscribers. If you have to have dedicated bandwidth, that might comes with a price.

    2). Internet connection — Your page load time may differ from where you browse the site, on what ISP is used, on what speed you currently have. The page load time you see might not be exactly the same as what others see when they load your site so one thing to consider is the connection.

    3). Computer / device — Page load time may differ if a user who is trying to browse your site has less RAM available, a lot of tabs open when browsing your page, a lot of application running in the background and so on...

    4). The scripts loaded in your site — Please also note that the scripts you add can also contribute to the load time of your page especially if you have added a lot of external links / libraries. What it does is it needs to load these libraries to completely load the elements on the client side.

    In my opinion, the 2 seconds load time for me is reasonable considering those I've mentioned above. You should seek an advice from experts in those aspects so they can help you or offer some advice on what to do or what to implement on your site.

    One suggestion that I can give you is try the iFrame embed code and compare the load time if it improves.
