 * Hi,
 * I have noticed that when I keep activate this plugin, for the first time TTFB
   increases. Second time automatically gets fixed for the same URL.
 * If I keep deactivate this plugin, for any unique URL this issue never happens.
 * Ps. I don’t use any Page cache plugin. All tests has been performed by me step
   by step in normal mode.
 * Thanks & Regards,
    Gulshan

 * Hi Gulshan,
 * if an URL is called the first time the TTFB increases because the URLs from the
   Gravatars are opened and (in difference to the deactivated plugin) the image 
   will be cached. That is causing the high TTFB on first time calling the URL.
 * I am actually working on a new update(with some other features) which should 
   not cause such a high TTFB. I will release it in the next days.
 * Best regards,
    Harry

 * Hello,
    Hope you are doing great!
 * I thought to try this plugin once again. Sadly, it still increases the first 
   load time. The document load in 6 Seconds. In this case, it is better to do not
   have this plugin.

    Gulshan

 * Hi Gulshan,
 * thanks, yes i am fine;)
 * I know about this.
    Don’t worry, in a few days i will relaese a new version 2.0
   with many more functions and options, a database-check if caching is necessary
   and so on. And a precache function from the backend;) I am testing hard at the
   moment to make everything work but it is only some finetuning at all;)
 * Best regards,
    Harry
