I am sometimes noticing that when a page is loading it is always waiting on 0.Gravatar.com. Is there any way to turn this off?

Many thanks,
Houston

Hi Houston,

Go to your wordpress Settings > Discussion > Avatar Display > uncheck Show Avatars.

Thanks!

My Show Avatars check box is unchecked, but I still often see “waiting for s.gravatar.com” while the page tries to load. Anything else I can do to get rid of this? Thx, Christopher

Hi Chris,

I just tried on my setup and I don’t see any request to gravatar.com after disabling it. Could you try clearing your plugin cache and browser cache?

Thank you.

[Christopher LParticipant]

I will, but oddly it doesn’t happen all the time.

I flushed everything I could, but pingdom tells me I’m still querying gravitas.com.

Can you please post the URL of your website?

[Christopher LParticipant]

Apologies. Should have done that in the first place . . . I’ve asked enough questions here!

Hi there,

Are you using the jetpack plugin by any chance?
Please try deactivating plugins one by one as it could be a some plugin calling that URL.

Thanks!

[Christopher LParticipant]

I disabled Jetpack, which did the trick. I was only using it for WordPress.com page stats. Any suggestions for another way to keep track of visits? Thx, Christopher

Hey Chris,

We recommend using Google Analytics for that. You can use your GA code in the Customizer > Custom > Javascript or you can use Google Analytics for WordPress. We don’t recommend other plugins because that would mean an extra process for your WordPress site.

Hope that helps. 🙂
