Slow page load times from asynchronous javascript
-
Our analytics are showing that our homepage takes, on average, ~14 seconds to load. All of the content on the page loads fairly quickly, while it takes a few seconds to load the social media stuff (which is mostly asynchronous javascript that is running in the background).
The question is this: Does Her-Magesty-Google take into account the amount of time it takes to load everything, including the social media stuff from asynchronous javascript? Or does Google see that the content loads fairly quickly and doesn't ding me for the js that is running in the background?

I would check the loading times in Google Webmaster.
Then I would go to some websites that measure loading times and compare your webiste's speed with the speeds of your competitors. If your is significantly slower, I would worry.
Try to combine several js into one.
Try to substitute social media buttons with some other ones.
