If you want to avoid loading weighty scripts, increase your page loading speed, use this plugin to get the VK Community Widget cached.

Dariusz Zielonka

This plugin was adapted to avoid loading VKontakte Community Widget JavaScripts and images in an iframe every time a page is loaded. It is a fact, that the JavaScripts and iframes increase page loading times and are often harmful for websites’ performance. Not everyone likes to have extra weight code on his/her website. Especially when functionality that is brought by the code is not essential.
This plugin is inspired by a similiar <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/facebook-fan-box-cache/" title="Facebook Fan Box Cache">WordPress plugin</a> and adapted for VKontakte Community Widget.
