What a Form Actually Downloads
Measured 8 October 2026: one Typeform contact template embedded inline, against our form, on a blank host page, Chrome with an empty cache, 5 runs each. Bytes are as transferred, including everything the embed loads.
Our form's fields were usable in about half a second or less in this test; Typeform's took roughly 1.5 to 3 seconds across several runs, mostly spent on its 437 KB renderer. That is about 70 times less data without the visitor check, and about 16 times less with it.
This is not a Core Web Vitals or conversion claim. In this test
Typeform's embed loaded after the host page's own load event, so it
did not change the host page's largest paint, layout shift, or
blocking time. Our default visitor check's widget rendered late and
became the page's own largest paint instead, about 0.44 seconds
against 0.07 seconds without it, and nothing here shows either form
converts better. Method and limits:
docs/asset-sizes_measurements.md.
Why Businesses Choose KirokuForms
Performance Difference
KirokuForms Approach
An HTML-only form adds no script to your page; the built-in visitor check and popups still need one
Industry Standard
Typeform's inline embed downloaded about 756 KB in our test (one contact template, measured 8 October 2026)
Technical Explanation
KirokuForms offers a pure HTML implementation that posts straight to the endpoint and needs no script. Measured 8 October 2026: our JS form downloaded 10.6 KB (48.2 KB with the default visitor check) and was usable in under half a second; a Typeform embed downloaded 756 KB and took roughly 1.5 to 3 seconds. Neither changed the host page's Core Web Vitals; our default visitor check made the largest paint slightly later (about 0.44 s against 0.07 s). Method and full results: docs/asset-sizes_measurements.md.
