 * Hello, I love your plug in, but I’ve been having some trouble using it because
   of the resources it uses. Can you provide any advice? I have numerous GET requests
   that are using up all of my CPU allowance. Is there a way that this can be addressed?
   Thank you.

 * Hi,
 * yes, I know it. Standard WordPress back-end script for AJAX requests (admin-ajax.
   php) uses a lot of resources and has poor performance. It is because the entire
   WordPress library is being loaded. I cannot do anything about it.
 * I have prepared alternative. Switch to dedicated lightweight back-end script.
   It can be set on Settings -> Wise Chat Settings page, select Advanced tab and
   then select “Lightweight AJAX” from the dropdown list and save settings. CPU 
   load is much lower in this mode. You can also change “Refresh Time” to higher
   value (the same tab).
 * In future releases I’m planning to implement WebSockets and this will reduce 
   load to minimum. However, it will require more sophisticated configuration of
   the chat unfortunately.
 * Thanks for feedback,
    Marcin

 * Thank you so much for the quick response. I appreciate it! You really have the
   nicest and best chat plugin on the wordpress depository so I hope that you’ll
   be able to get the configurations figured out. Thank you for your hard work on
   this.
