SCAYT not working/slow to load

Hey guys, I am using ckeditor on my site, but many users are complaining about the spell check as you type plugin not working. turns out that if the page is loading ads from third party, then that would slow down the plugin's calls to spellchecker.net, and sometimes the calls might even timeout, and then the plugin would seem to not work at all.

is there any fix or workaround out there? we dont' have that many ads to begin with for our page (two), and so far many users have complained, so that's a big problem.

Can you provide a url to test it or a sample page to reproduce the problem?

Re: SCAYT not working/slow to load

upon further testing, seems like auto-start for scayt doesn't kick in sometimes for a while if the editor just loaded, page not done loading, and user starts typing already. then when auto-start for scayt finally kicks in, the cursor jumps to front of the line, and then it starts to make calls to spellchecker.net to spell check. so that means it takes a long time from the editor appears till the time spellchecker.net returns something.

is there a way to at least make sure auto-startup for scayt happens as soon as possible, or once the scayt plugin loads?

well, actually, the user was using dial-up... so consider this problem closed.
