After running PageSpeed Insights by Google, I see that there are multiple external JS calls to SoundCloud. I thought this was a ‘lite’ js free module? Why are these loading? https://w.soundcloud.com/player/error-698b3c1d.js (5 minutes) https://w.soundcloud.com/player/visual-multi-sounds-b49ce1e1.js (5 minutes) https://w.soundcloud.com/player/widget-e4f67e8b.js (5 minutes) https://wordpress.org/plugins/soundcloud-master/ I presume this is also coming from the module, even though I paid for it: https://static.doubleclick.net/instream/ad_status.js (15 minutes) Are you seriously loading ads on a PAID module? Hi ioweegian. Those js files are being loaded by soundcloud itself, we do not include any js files or make any calls to js files… only soundcloud API.
