Popular Content Macro loading issues

[Anita Pinto]

Hi 

Popular content macro takes time to load up.

So I was planning to create a child page with Popular Content macro

Then insert the child page either as an excerpt or an include page in the parent page.

Can someone please help with a script, I tried and failed...

Option 1) Place a script in the Parent Page to load the Popular Content macro page AFTER 5 seconds after loading of the parent page, so there is no delay on loading the home page.

Option 2) Load the Parent page without REFRESHING the Child Page (so the load should be instant), once the page is loaded the Child page can be refreshed as per the script below.

The script for refreshing is below which is placed in an html tag in the child page

<script>

setTimeout(function() {

location.reload();

}, 5000);

</script>

This unfortunately only refreshes the page every 5 seconds but does not 

I would really appreciate soem help.

Thanks in advance.

Anita
