Hi there,

I've implemented the mailchimp form for authenticated users in my custom multistep form flow, so that the subscription options for my double-opt-in newsletter show up along standard profile fields for the associated Drupal account. For this, I'm calling mailchimp_subscribe_auth_form($form_state, $account, $standalone = FALSE, $list), with $account being the current user object and $list being the ID of my newsletter list.

Now here's the problem: It all works fine, except that the load time for the form differs from one second (acceptable) to four seconds (too long). As far as I understand the mailchimp module for D6, there's no caching mechanism for this.

Questions:

  1. Could this (no caching mechanism) be the culprit? If no, what else might be causing this?
  2. Any suggestion to speed up the load time?

“And now our watch [for support of the 6.x version of the MailChimp module] has ended…” With the end of Drupal 6 support, I’m sad to say we too must turn the page.

Fret not! The 7.x-4.x and 8.x versions come highly recommended. Both are using Mailchimp’s new API 3.0 and are being actively maintained. “What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger!”
