What Happens If Speed Layer Stops Working

If Speed Layer stops running, the site should continue to load and function as it did before installation.

What you should expect

Speed Layer is designed so that failure should result in:

• No optimizations being applied
• Normal platform and third-party behavior

Common reasons Speed Layer might stop working

Examples include:

• The script tag was removed or changed
• A platform update changed script placement
• A network or browser issue prevented scripts from loading

What to do

• Confirm the Speed Layer script is still present and correctly placed.
• Validate key pages including the homepage, SRP, and VDP.
• If performance regresses but functionality is fine, that may indicate Speed Layer is not active.
