Enhancing Widget Speed

Here are a few tips to ensure your Stamped main widget loads as quickly as possible! 

  1. Ensure the main Stamped script is installed to your theme files - visit our guide linked here for step-by-step instructions. Make sure that you're using your account's unique API key!
  2. Enable lazy loading ("load more") for your main widget reviews. This can be done in your main widget Settings here:
