<p>Optimum Gravatar Cache allows you to create a local cache with optimized copies of gravatars. The optimization is accomplished by resizing the avatars to the sizes used on your site, in addition to optimizing the images internally. Optimizations are performed to minimize the size of each avatar served by the plugin.</p>
<p>The plugin uses WordPress CRON to perform heavier tasks. Avatars are resized in the background. Avatars are optimized internally in the background. Except in certain cases where it is necessary to resize the avatars in the page request.</p>
<p>The plugin handles all your site’s gravatar as long as the wordpress get_avatar() function or buddypress bp_member_avatar() function is used. Works with plugins, themes, etc.</p>
<p>The plugin allows you to customize the avatar by default. This avatar is served whenever the user / visitor does not have a custom gravatar. This greatly reduces the number of requests made by your page, improving the user experience. Besides allowing to frame the avatar by default with the theme of your site.</p>
<p>The plugin, after being configured and activated, starts by serving gravatar for all. And it begins to create the cache dynamically in the background with the sizes being collected by the requests, as well as those configured on the plug-in page. When the avatar already exists in the cache, the plugin serves the avatar in cache. The plugin periodically checks to see if the user updated their gravatar on gravatar.com if yes is updated locally. This way, keeping an updated cache.</p>
<p><strong>The plugin intends the following:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Work with the gravatars locally, cache;</li>
<li>Reduce the number of requests per page, thus reducing the total time required to load all files. This is achieved because most users do not have a custom gravatar, and for those, only one file needs to be downloaded;</li>
<li>Optimize all avatars by reducing their size and transfer time again.</li>
</ul>
<p>Please if you find any bugs of any kind please contact me so that I can solve it as soon as possible.</p>

<h3>Dependencies</h3>
<p>This plugin depends on the following PHP modules:</p>
<ul>
<li>php-gd or php-imagick (So that it can resize the avatars)</li>
<li>php-curl (So that it can communicate with the gravatar using the same connection to update several avatars)</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin also depends on WordPress CRON to be able to solve the heaviest tasks in the background.</p>

<p>Skip page reloads and separate error screens when posting comments. Ajaxify Comments hooks into your native WordPress comment system and allows comment posting without a page reload. Lazy loading is also supported, which can help speed up your page load time.</p>
<h3>TLDR</h3>
<p><a href="https://docs.dlxplugins.com/v/ajaxify-comments/first-time-users/getting-started" rel="nofollow ugc">Getting Started</a> | <a href="https://github.com/sponsors/DLXPlugins" rel="nofollow ugc">Sponsor Us</a> | <a href="https://dlxplugins.com/plugins/ajaxify-comments" rel="nofollow ugc">Ajaxify Home</a></p>
<p>Ajaxify Comments hooks into your theme and improves the usability of the comment form by validating and adding comments without the need of page reloads. Users can remain on the page and interact with new comments as they’re posted. This plugin also supports lazy loading of comments, which can help speed up your page load time.</p>
<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>When submitting the comment form, WordPress by default reloads the entire page. This can be a disorienting experience for the user. In the case of errors in the comment (invalid email, duplicate comment, empty comment), these often require a separate error screen and the user has to use the back button to edit their comment. This can be a frustrating experience for the user. Adding to that, comments can be resource intensive, and can slow down your page load time.</p>
<p>With Ajaxify Comments, comments are posted without a page reload. If there are errors, the error message is shown immediately, so the user can correct their comment.</p>
<p>Ajaxify Comments also comes with lazy loading of the comments section. For a page with a lot of comments, this can speed things up considerably. You can load comments when the DOM is ready or when the comment section is scrolled into view.</p>
<p>Moreover this plugin includes an option to automatically refresh the comments on the current page while the user stays on your page without requiring a page reload. This can be helpful in busy comment sections where reply response time is important.</p>

<h3>Requirements and Compatibility</h3>

<h3>Technical Note</h3>
<p>Since the plugin hooks into the theme on client-side to intercept the comment form submit process, and to add new comments without reloading the page, the plugin needs to access the DOM nodes using jQuery selectors. The plugin comes with default values for these selectors that were successfully tested with WordPress’ default themes “Twenty Ten”, “Twenty Eleven”, “Twenty Twelve”, “Twenty Thirteen”, “Twenty Fourteen”, “Twenty Fifteen”, “Twenty Sixteen”. If required, the selectors can be customized to match your theme in the plugin’s settings.</p>

Ajaxify Comments – Ajax and Lazy Loading Comments

This has always been a great plugin. It always worked just fine, even if weweave (the previous owners) stopped maintaining and developing it.

Since DLX plugins took over, it got even better

There’s been a lot of admin UI improvements, and Ronald has showed to be incredibly responsive to implement small additional features that can make life easier.

Sent him a feature request, and was incredibly glad to see that he also judged that it was a useful thing to implement. It took him less than 48h to push it live!

Just excellent

Ajaxify Comments hooks into native WordPress comments and allows comment posting without reloading the page.
