Even Better Performance
There have been some recent performance concerns raised, so I wanted to provide an update about how we've been doing:

First, we discovered the culprit in a render-blocking script served from an external CDN (content delivery network) was causing the random slowdowns. We've removed that dependency.

Next, we've upgraded the site to HTTP2 (when SSL/https is used). HTTP2 (which is used automatically when supported - no changed necessary) greatly improves page performance.

We've also made a number of other incremental improvements which members will see when they are loading a calendar directly from a URL (or using the 'Responsive Iframe' publish style).

A sample published calendar now typically scores in the High 90's for Desktop usage under Google PageSpeed (yay!)
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flocalendar.com%2Fpublic%2Fsample&tab=desktop

Let's look at some desktop PageSpeed scores for localendar vs. some calendars from other services:

localendar.com : 97/100
Keepandshare.com : 74/100
The Events Calendar (Wordpress plugin): 72/100
