 * Hi Team,
 * I have a site with high traffic and recently the CPU Usage on the server had 
   increased so much that the site was crashing all the time and the issue was mostly
   related to the database, apart from the technical issues, I started checking 
   and disabling the plugins. I tried to see if there would be a small improvement
   or not. By deactivating your plugin, the situation improved a bit, as the CPU
   consumption was still high, but the site did not crash.
   Considering that your
   plugin is always connected to the database and performs data update, insert, 
   select, etc., is there a way to optimize these requests for sites with high traffic?
   That there is less load on the server and especially the CPU?For example, one
   of your tables is still using MyISAMstatistics_visitor_relationships

 * Hi Sinapar,
 * are you aware that your PHP version is completly outdated? It is always advisable
   to work with up-to-date software.
 * **PHP 7.4**
 * • unsupported branch
   • no security support anymore• latest release of the branch
   is 7.4.33
 * Have you considered testing your website with the latest software? Would your
   problem be solved then?

 * Hi [@michael-luther](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michael-luther/),
 * Thank you very much for your suggestion
   Honestly, I am very interested to update
   to the latest version, but I am worried that some of the plugins I use may not
   be compatible with the latest version.
 * And how much do you think migrating to version 8 will affect the performance 
   of my site with this volume of visits?
