Marketo Form Pop Up / Modal evoked on CTA Click - opens very SLOW

[jengcalendly]

We have Marketo integrated into our website pages and our team has requested a form to appear on click as a pop up from a CTA. This is all fine until you realize that the form takes a bit too long to load and may cause some rage clicking or abandonment.

Is there any way to show a loader or do this implementation better so it loads quicker ?

Thank you!

You’re not implementing it the right way. You should immediately load the form on page load and hide it by default using CSS. Then the click only calls form#lightbox(). It’s instantaneous.
