Google+ Verification - Site Speed Optimization

[inc.com]

So the Google+ Badge verifies our site for Google direct connect. However, the javascript code for the badge itself causes the page to load 3 to 4 seconds longer, which is a big deal.

Any ideas for a work around?

Try to load it from the cloud, if you can. This should speed up your website.

Hey Slava, more specifically, I'm looking for details on how to load the google+ badge asynchronously. I'm not highly technical, so hopefully that made sense.

Hi! You can find info about adding it to your page asynchronously here: https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/badge/.
