 * Hi,
 * I’d love to use this fantastic plugin (and buy the PRO version for easy switching
   between text/visual modes) but was wondering if the plugin adds any extra processing
   time or loads extra scripts for front-end users?
 * As you can see, I’m awfully worried about page load time and trying to keep my
   sites ultra-fast performance. I’m curious to know if the code-to-raw-tags processing
   was done in the editor/back-end or front-end. Would be great for other users 
   if your answer to me was also on your FAQ.
 * Thanks,
    Johnny

 * It does add some processing time since it needs to process the `[raw]` shortcodes.
   This happens in the front-end, i.e. when a post or page is displayed to a visitor.
   Normally, it should be pretty fast.
 * The plugin doesn’t load any JS/CSS in the front-end.

 * Hmmm…dang. I’m very sorry to hear that but understand completely. If you ever
   find a workaround, I would be more than happy to pay for it!

 * Unfortunately, it probably isn’t feasible to implement the features that this
   plugin has without doing stuff in the front-end. Some of the content changes 
   that WordPress makes – like adding paragraph tags or replacing quote characters
   with HTML entities – happen in the front-end. If you want to prevent those, you’ll
   have to either run some additional code in the front-end, or build a custom theme
   that deliberately avoids using the standard methods of displaying posts.

 * I see. I’m just trying to disable the html-filtering. I’m trying to put in ebay
   affiliate code and WordPress keeps stripping it out every time I switch to visual
   mode.

 * Well, there are other plugins you could use for that (e.g. [Post Snippets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-snippets/);
   no affiliation), but all of them will run at least _some_ code in the front-end.
   I guess you could try several alternatives and compare the performance?

 * Thanks for the suggestion, Janis! I might have to go down that route if no other
   option exists. I wish WordPress came with some filter-safe tags that you could
   wrap the custom HTML in.

 * We figured out an option that does exactly what I wanted, I’m gonna release it
   to the repo soon.
