Every anonymous user request creates an AJAX request

Every anonymous user request creates an AJAX request for SSO.

Will add more thoughts later, but this seems problematic for high-traffic sites.

This is by design, so not sure there's any other way to handle it. This is also how WP.com SSO works FWIW (based on my observations at least, although I've not actually inquired about their approach).

Can you think of any better way to handle this? Would love to change if there's a better way.

Correct.

@rmccue Shouldn't that be optional though?
