This plugin was adapted to avoid loading VKontakte Community Widget JavaScripts and images in an iframe every time a page is loaded. It is a fact, that the JavaScripts and iframes increase page loading times and are often harmful for websites’ performance. Not everyone likes to have extra weight code on his/her website. Especially when functionality that is brought by the code is not essential.

This plugin is inspired by a similiar WordPress plugin and adapted for VKontakte Community Widget.

You can check post on my website – Natural Web Design, for tutorial, updates, and news.

*** Please note, that Plugin is in BETA testing phase ***

Features:

• Decrease page load time on pages that contain your VK.com Community Widget code
• VK Cache WordPress Widget (Default 240px wide)
• Manual Cache Refresh

A few notes about this plugin:

• The plugin requires PHP5 and cURL to be installed and enabled on your server.
• You can see a working demo of the Plugin on frontend here.

Still to be done:

• Shortcode for inserting into a page
