Form Load Time: Enable gzip compression to my form

    Asked on January 29, 2019 at 11:49 PM

    Hello:

    I am working to improve my website performance. Analysis shows that gzip compression is needed. I am currently using the iframe method to embed form.

    How can I accomplish this and is this the best method to get this done?

    Thank you for your time and assistance resolving this problem.

    The gzip compression is enabled for our forms, some of the content is minified.

    If you would like to improve the form performance, consider:

    *Creating a form from the scratch without a theme. Style it with injected CSS rather than applying a theme.
    *Use as fewer widget fields as possible.
    *Do not use custom fonts.

    If you would like to load the content locally, you may download the form source code and then adjust the paths to the CSS and JS resources.

    As explained on this guide, if you'd like to host the form files to your own server, you can download a compressed and refined version of the form with its separate CSS and JS files by clicking the "Download Source Code" button from the Publish wizard:
