 * RFP seems to slow down my site in a big way. Sometimes it can take up to 10 seconds
   for the site to completely load. The rest of the content is already loaded, but
   the RFP widget and everything below that takes ages. This is not always the case,
   sometimes the page loads in under a second. Removing the RFP widget solves the
   problem.
 * I see the question has been asked before:
    [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-stops-my-page-loading-fast?replies=1](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-stops-my-page-loading-fast?replies=1)
 * I know the FB api can be very slow, but I thought this plugin caches the posts?
   I checked the cache and the posts do indeed cache, although the images are still
   loaded from FB’s CDN.
 * Also, if I look at the info for the postscache file, I see that it is modified
   at the time that I tried opening the page. It seems that the cache is regenerated
   when of after I try to view the page, thus stalling the pageloading.
 * website in the making is here:

 * Is there a solution to this?

 * I have the exact same issue. Hoping for a solution since the plugin has all the
   features I need on my site.

 * I will start looking into this and do some extensive testing. I will keep you
   updated.

 * Hey all,
 * I’ve just updated the plugin and made some improvements to the way the last modification
   time of the cache file is calculated, maybe it will fix the issue for you, maybe
   it won’t. It’s hard to tell for me as I can’t seem to reconstruct the issue.
 * It could also be that your server time is off, you can contact your webhost about
   this to fix this.

 * Thanks Danny.
    I’ll update the plugin to see if it makes a difference. Will check
   the server time too.
 * I will let you know.
    Thanks again.

 * OK Danny, it seems to be fixed now.
    I still see the occasional delay in loading
   of the posts, but nothing serious. I checked the page speed with pingdom tools
   and the images from the FB CDN are sometimes slow to load (like 306 ms for an
   5KB image.) You’d expect a CDN from a giant like FB to be blazingly fast, but
   obviously it is not. Maybe an idea to cache the images as well?
 * Anyway, I am happy, I just donated $20,- for the plugin.
    Thanks again for fixing
   this so quickly.
