Number 9 Fashion Studio review for Social Login by DevCloud

Sept. 23, 2017

Update 23/9 --------------- Developer has made some amazing changes. Both to the code and to the way it is delivered (Hosted). The speed is now not only much faster than before (orders of magnitude) it is not almost imperceptible as far as speed goes. The slowest part is the DNS lookup which is one time thing for all new visitors to your site. It all App devleopers could deliver their apps with code this efficient on backend infrastructure this speedy - we would all be able to use many apps without hurting our page speed and google seo. Well done team! Update 20/9 --------------- Still working with developer. Have been some speed increase, though main issue is that the code is loaded and called with every page load as opposed to just on checkout or login pages. Developer is attentive and hope this is optimised soon. Legacy Review ------------------ Works well and have used for a while. Problem is they aren't scaling with their own customers growth. The CDN that they use is sucky and very slow in APAC. They really need to deploy a better CDN and spend more on their hosting as their app seriously slows down your site which affects your google rankings. Right now a connection to their service on a page load results in a 1.5 second TCP wait followed by a 400ms transmision time for a tiny amount of code. That is basically a 2 second penalty added to every page view! When you need to keep your total page load times with all the various apps and images under 3 seconds total, this is just not on. Please lift your backend infrastructure game. Use CloudFront or Akamai. Please.
