I have added the Facebook chat plugin through this code generated from facebook.com
<!-- Load Facebook SDK for JavaScript -->
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk/xfbml.customerchat.js';
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
<!-- Your customer chat code -->
<div class="fb-customerchat"
attribution=setup_tool
page_id="124030157608968">
</div>`
However I run a Pagespeed test in Google Chrome and the results are disaster.
Any suggestions how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much!
Same issue. No matter if you initialize it in an async manner or not, it literally kills the Page speed index of your website!
Here's an approach I did in order to fully go around this disaster.
I placed a fake 🙄 Messanger button at the bottom right of the page:
<svg id="fb-messanger-fake-button" width="60px" height="60px" viewBox="0 0 60 60" cursor="pointer">
<g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd">
<g>
<circle fill="#00B2FF" cx="30" cy="30" r="30"></circle><svg x="10" y="10">
<g transform="translate(0.000000, -10.000000)" fill="#FFFFFF">
<g id="logo" transform="translate(0.000000, 10.000000)">

... aaaand I positioned it with CSS on the bottom right corner, EXACTLY where the real Messanger button will appear (based on your configuration):
#fb-messanger-fake-button {
position: fixed;
bottom: 24px;
right: 24px;
z-index: 100;
transition: opacity 0.3s;
}
Using jQuery (in my case) or just plain JavaScript (if you want), implement logic that injects the Facebook SDK and initiates the Messanger plugin ONLY when the user clicks on our fake Messanger button:
// Facebook SDK for JavaScript inject code
function injectFbSdkAsync(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk/xfbml.customerchat.js';
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
};
$(function() {
const $fbMessangerFakeButton = $('#fb-messanger-fake-button');
$fbMessangerFakeButton.on('click', function(){
// Fades out the fake button a bit, to indicate "loading"
$fbMessangerFakeButton.css({ opacity: 0.4 });
// Inject the Facebook SDK in async manner:
injectFbSdkAsync(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk');
// Callback on Facebook SDK init, that fires up the Messanger plugin
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({ xfbml: true, version: 'v8.0' });
// Callback when Facebook SDK finish up with rendering
FB.Event.subscribe('xfbml.render', function(){
// Immediately toggle opening the Facebook Messanger,
// as if the user clicked the real Messanger button.
FB.CustomerChat.show(true);
// Hide the fake button, so that only the real one remains!
$fbMessangerFakeButton.css({ display: 'none' });
});
};
});
});
And that's it! Your page speed index is back to normal.
