I recently started building a wordpress theme based on the Genesis Framework's Sample child theme. Everything is great and I have kept my requests to a minimum. The page in question loads some font awesome icons, text, and there is one iFrame youtube video embedded on the page/post.
When running tests on Pingdom tools I am shown that I have 5 connection errors from the following: "cast_sender.js"
My question or concern is what this actually means: Does this negatively impact things such as a google page score or affect page loads even when it is zero file size and has no load indication?
Attached is a screen capture from pingdom.
It's a known issue that Google have yet to fix (or by the sounds of it, struggling). It's currently marked as "wontfix".
Issue 309: error when chrome cast extension is not installed
Not sure how it will affect page scores in the wider world, of course it's not a great issue to have either.
