 * Hi everyone,
 * I’m trying to display some external content using lightbox Plus. Basically I 
   want to keep visitors on the site while I display the contents of another website
   and this way I can keep it stylish and on the page. But it takes forever to load.
   I’ve tried using caching plugins, without much help. I can’t think of too many
   options. Any ideas?

 * Are you using the Secondary Lightbox with the Use iFrame checkbox checked?
 * I experienced extremely slow loading lightbox content until I turned on those
   settings.
 * During my troubleshooting I found that multiple page requests were being made
   and that slowed things down to a crawl.
