I use the Fun-With-Sidebar-Tabs plugin which lets me tab my widgets. Of course this plugin also suffers from slow javascript loading, so on site-load my readers will see my entire un-tabbed sidebar for a few seconds before it collapse to tab (very annoying!). I haven’t heard of IFrameWidget before, but I will check it out to see if it can resolve this issue I’m having. Thank you!
Thanks for the update. I’ve been having a lot of issues with my wp blog ever since I’ve upgraded to 2.5. In fact, I held up upgrading a few of my other blogs because I’ve been having difficulties with it. I do like iFrameWidgets. Great plugin!
I can only hope it cures only a few of the widget woes I seem to have now that I upgraded to 2.5. Thanks for the heads up on it.
Thanks for updating this plugin. My WordPress sites get too bogged down without your plugin.
thanks for this posting Ive learn a lot…help me update my blogs too…
Does it help the other things on the page load faster than if the javascript stuff was loading with it, or does everything load at the same speed?
I didnt know about this but thanks to your article i got to know a bit about this plugin. Thanks for this article.

Thanks for the update, Stephen. All is well in no man’s land.
Thanks for the heads up
Hey, if you ever need some beta testers. I would be glad to help out.
Wow… this is a great idea for a plugin! You’re always thinking! I hate when pages just hang, and you can tell that the sidebar is missing some stuff. Hopefully tons of people adopt this solution!
Ahh this is neat, the name implies that the widgets end up in an Iframe though, doesn’t this make the blog a bit hard for search engines to index?
Martin,
Sure, but your content isn’t in the widget is it? Widgets typically have other people’s content (like a BlogCatalog widget) which isn’t something you need the search engines to see. Your main content isn’t in the widget and it will be index fine.
This is really a great idea for plugin. Thank you so much for sharing a very helpful information.
good idea, didn’t even know about the first one, I will give a try.

Have a recipe site with 50,000 recipes running under WordPress 2.5.1 (will update soon to 2.6) and it’s taking over 10 seconds to load a page!
Hoping your plugin will help with some of the problems associated with a very slow loading site.
Got about 50 WordPress blogs and this is the only one that runs this way, but then it’s the only one with 50K posts. I currently see 669 queries when I load the home page, none of my other sites come close to this number queries.
I think it’s because there are over 300 categories but having problems confirming this. I use a plugin to only show a small number of categories at a time, but suspect WordPress is ‘loading’ the entire category list (hence the hundreds of queries), though not showing them since there’s the plugin that stops it.

I have WordPress 2.6.1 on one of my blogs. Would this version work good for me?
Btw, thank you for you job. Good plugin my pages are fly now.
Hi Alex,
Should work on WordPress 2.6.1. I’m not aware of any problems.
Thanks for this. I’ve been having some serious problems lately. I hope this is what i need!

Thanks for making this plugin available. I used to do software development, but i’ts been quite a few years. Now I do general computer support. I was thinking that a fun way to return to software development would be to do some kind of freeware.
I’ve seen that there are lots of WordPress plugins available. When you went to write this did you just see a need and decide to write it, or did you run across a webpage where someone said “I wish I had a plugin that ….” Also, I know much more about programming than I do WordPress. Should I immerse myself in WordPress prior to even starting writing something. Also is there politics to be considered in writing these kinds of things — things like if your blog doesn’t look good then no one will download it, etc.
Cheers for taking the time to develop and update this plugin. We’re still on 2.5, so this will definitely help improve the user experience on our blog.
Hi there, I was having a few problems and I thought the above might just fix it but it hasn’t unfortunately
Is there anywhere that anyone can suggest is a good place to look for answers?
thanks
Helen
