Performance¶
Mentionlink is built to stay out of the way of your pages:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| API response time @P90 | 250 ms |
| Script size, Zstandard | ~35 KB |
| Script size, Brotli | ~33 KB |
| Script size, Gzip | ~37 KB |
| Script size, minified (uncompressed) | ~110 KB |
Compression¶
The script is minified and served from the geodistributed content delivery network (CDN) of Cloudflare at cdn.mentionlink.com.
The CDN picks the compression algorithm from the browser's Accept-Encoding header, so an uncompressed script is almost never sent:
| Encoding | Supported by Mentionlink |
|---|---|
Zstandard (zstd) |
Yes |
Brotli (br) |
Yes |
Gzip (gzip) |
Yes |
Most of the script's weight is our real-time error-monitoring dependency, which lets us find and fix problems before you notice them.
Loading¶
The script tag uses defer, so the browser downloads it in parallel with everything else and runs it only after your HTML is parsed.
Mentionlink never blocks rendering, and it waits until the page is fully loaded before converting product mentions into affiliate links.
See the Tech Spec for the full loading sequence, and Load Testing to benchmark the API against your own traffic.
