If you embed Checkfront on your website to accept bookings online, you’ll want to make sure the Checkfront Helper is configured properly. The Checkfront helper is a small file that sits on your webserver. It helps improve performance and sizing of the booking window.

You can download the helper and configure the Droplet by logging into your Checkfront account, going to Add-ons, Integrations and “Droplet”.
