Partial and slow page load when specifying the return URL

[tedgeving]

After submitting a lead, the page that has the form embedded on it will partially load before redirecting to the specified Return/Thank You URL. This happens intermittently, which leads me to believe that it might be due to a slow response time from SFDC.

Have you seen this behavior before? Any ideas as to how to prevent this from happening?
Thanks

It's unlikely related to the API response time. The plugin currently uses a Javascript redirect (which while suboptimal, was practical at the time). Moving to a true redirect would require a significant reworking of form processing. It's a planned enhancement for sure.

I rarely never see the page load, as the Javascript executes as soon as it's written to the page, but where your form is on page would affect that.

Hi Nick, thanks for the response. Turns out that the submission process was really slow on the shared servers that the site was hosted on for development. Now that the site is hosted on a better server (WP Engine), the forms are being submitted in a reasonable amount of time. Thanks for writing this plugin, it's way easier to use than writing 'gform_after_submission' hooks to handle post submit actions.
