My form seems to delay enough where my visitors are clicking multiple times on the button. Not sure if its a server issue, or other programming issue. Could having a lot of submissions in the database slow the time processing down? I have the Zoho addon (3rd party app) don't know if that's doing it?

time delay after submitting form

There are so many potential factors that it is usually hard to narrow it down. What I usually suggest is to make one field a unique entries only, then they can't submit multiple times. Or find a JS call that can disable the submit button after the first press. Either way, it is easier than hunting down the delay.
If you want to hunt down the delay, and are experiencing it yourself, I would suggest looking through our theme and plugin conflict instructions first:

Right next to the required checkbox is No Duplicates. Check that off for a single field and they won't be able to submit the same entry multiple times.

The problem with that is if they click it a 2nd time then the "no duplicates message comes up" so even though it was unique on the first click now it's not unique anymore and the 2nd form doesn't show up so the visitor is confused.
I guess your other suggestion: Or find a JS call that can disable the submit button after the first press
is the way to go? Is that very complicated to do being not a programmer. I'll have to hire my guy again.Posted 12 years ago on Thursday July 19, 2012 | Permalink -
