<p>When your posts get a lot of comments, performance can be a concern. The generation of the comment HTML and the delivery of all that HTML can slow down your page loads. <strong>This plugin has pages load without comments, and then uses a secondary AJAX request to pull down the comments.</strong> Navigating through the pages of comments is also handled via AJAX. On my test install with 100 comments per page, the <code>onload</code> event fires 2x faster. The HTML is generated by the server 6x faster. The HTML downloads 3x faster. The uncompressed size of the HTML is reduced by a factor of 17.</p>
<p>Initial development of this plugin was commissioned by Google — many thanks!</p>


AJAX Comment Loading

Loads comments with a secondary AJAX request, including comment paging. Speeds initial loading of the page.
