It's indeed one of the toughest nuts, and also the one reason we don't simply "Cloud Load" all third-parties. It really is a case-by-case thing, but in general we developed some pretty sophisticated loading techniques to

That's awesome to hear! It's honestly not crazy hard if you take care of it from day one. We tried our best sticking to SVGs (inlined when it makes sense), using PurgeCSS to clean our stylesheets, server-side rendering, system fon

Not quite what we do... Delaying everything to when there's an interaction will make your analytics data (including conversions and remarketing pixels) miss a lot of information, and could easily make the browser lag exactly when your

Philosophically it's a great question :) I'm not a marketer, but I'm pretty sure that if you'd ask one what they think about losing the ability to do remarketing for all the users who bounced within the first 10 seconds

You're right that it's more complicated with Real User Monitoring, and not everything can be done inside our Worker. However, we bundle the content of the RUM script with our response (saving the browser another request), and we m

Yeah, can't imagine how we would be able to do this without Cloudflare Workers honestly... It's a crazy powerful tool. As for Apps - I'm not sure I got your question but Apps they are mostly wrappers around other tools, so wh

Unfortunately, when it comes to analytics and conversion pixels, deferring everything isn't really a serious option because it literally means missing data. Essentially all your metrics would be skewed and your remarketing audiences wo

Great points! GTM server-side tagging is indeed similar to one of our features, Cloud Load. The main difference would be that GTM essentially gives you the server-side capabilities for Google Analytics only, and the rest you have to code yo

Thank you! That's a very valid point and we've seen this with customers quite often: the thought of changing the whole underlying layer can (understandably) scare people. We've built a (soon-to-be-completely-)automated proces

Yeah it was quite hard to find something that works in all languages... In our mother tongue (Hebrew) it actually means "a catalyst", and also we heard that it means "right now" in Ukrainian. But we definitely missed it

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I don't know about the 100% part, but it doesn't seem crazy or impossible that they'll do something like that, and we should all be well aware of the possibility.
