Article summary

Whatfix has negligible impact on the performance of any web application due to the small size of the embed file and quick execution time.

Performance of Whatfix content loads on an application based on the following two factors:

  1. Size of JavaScript: The Whatfix JavaScript file size is only 1.5 MB (compressed). The browser caches this file and ensures that users download it only once (on first access).
  2. Execution time of Javascript: Even with all Whatfix widgets enabled, the JavaScript execution during page load takes approximately 400 milliseconds. This time can vary depending on the extent of advanced capabilities and configurations.

Browsers typically load and execute JavaScript in the background once the page is almost fully loaded.

Therefore, Whatfix has minimal to no impact on application performance.
