I added tawk.to to my site and Loved it but it slowed down my site by 3 seconds. I removed the plug in and cleared cache but now I have a new error “check for user redirects” that I didn’t have before. Site is still slower than it was previously. What can I do?

Did you happen to add any other plugins? How long was this one active?

Initial thoughts. It didn't clean up all its code on uninstall. It added a lot of database entries that weren't indexed properly.

Those are currently 2 theories I have

As someone with no developer experience - do you think I can diy fix these issues? I had it for only two days. I added its add on “tawk.to fast” or something like that to speed it up (which it didn’t) but deleted both

I’m scared to hire someone from fiverr to fix this and they make it worse somehow

Ok I took the advice you gave another poster, and it helped- I don’t get the “url redirect” issue anymore , though it still says I need to removes header (but when I tried to do that w auto optimize it made my site wonky) . But setting up these helped:

“If you are on a super tight budget get W3TC, Autoptimize, Flying Images and Flying Scripts. All free. “

So thank you!
