 * Hi
 * I use the plugin with the latest version of WordPress (5.5.3) to log API calls
   regarding WooCommerce.
 * I found that the plugin (i use it for approx. half a year now) makes the API 
   very slow.
 * I.e. a GET call to /wc/v3/products/ takes 5 seconds to complete, whereas without
   the plugin, it takes 0,7s.
 * The question is, why is it slowing down the API and how can this be solved?
 * Best,
    Thomas

 * Hi!
 * I’m not the plugin dev, but the plugin logs it’s data to wp_posts.
 * In my case, especially with the new Woo Dashboard, I was getting thousand of 
   rows added to that DB table.
 * You might want to see how big yours is, clean it out, or whatever.
 * I opened a thread asking the dev to use their own table instead of wp_posts, 
   but check the list of open issues for this plugin – it’s looking like it may 
   have been abandoned.
