Problem Summary:
Google V2 ReCapcha kills all the page speed tuning work that was done just to load in the little "invisible" [not really invisible] iFrames
Situation:
Got a great SEM landing page, well built, gzipped, minified JS/css, CDN, minimal fonts lightning fast 99% A page speed score...
But once the JS layer is activated
Google V2 Invisible ReCapcha attempts to handle 3 FORM elements on the page (lead form, newsletter, and Twilio based SMS 'click to call' form) speed score suffers (and not by an acceptable amount, by a lot)
Image says it all:
Been a problem for years now, always known about it, but figured maybe there was a solution by now?
All forms are 100% AJAX. Fine with using something else, maybe V3? async defer, tried with deferred and not deferred - load time to deliver the JS files from Google alone seems 'unreasonable'... (tried grabbing the JS files and serving them locally, unorthodox and 'not work' anyway)
Open to suggestions.
