I am not sure how long ago you tried Olark out, but we've made a lot of improvements in how the RPC servers work. I am still a little concerned about a slow request blocking your page though. What's your URL? Do you know if you are using JSONP?

Again, it isn't the async stuff. It is: <script src="http://server.not.responding.com></script&#62 http://server.not.responding.com></script> That causes the browser to block waiting for a response. It was a couple months ago, but I think it was olark19 not responding. While I appreciate what you guys are doing a lot, I'm not willing to be a beta tester for your networking. Stuff like that absolutely needs to be hosted on an architecture that just doesn't go down. Ever.

  Many browsers support an async/defer attribute on script tags now, which will cause them to load without blocking.

    As far as I can tell, the olark js block we are asked to copy into the page doesn't set this on the script element that is pushed into the dom.
