 * The two sites, [The Good Plate](https://the-good-plate.com) and [HealWithin](https://healwithin.com/)
   both use this plugin. They are both using VPS hosting at the same host, but are
   on different servers. Yesterday, Wednesday, November 4, 2020, after the update
   that occurred about 12:47 PST, both sites’ CPU usage went up so much that it 
   brought the servers to a screeching halt. Although both sites use VPS, there 
   are other sites that are also on those servers that were also inaccessible. The
   hosting provider had to restart both servers multiple times to stop the CPU usage.
   I have copies of the chat sessions I had with the hosting provider’s support 
   technicians. It didn’t occur to me until this morning that the only plug-in both
   sites use that was recently updated is this one. I deactivated the plug-in on
   both sites this morning and have had no runaway CPU issues since.
