 * I received this message from my WordPress host Siteground after they temporarily
   suspended my account for excess CPU usage:
 * I have removed the limit on your hosting account. It seems that you have reached
   the maximum amount of CPU seconds you can use for the current month. The website
   is now accessible worldwide, however I have noticed that a problem on your website
   which causes the high resource usage. It seems there is a self referring script
   that generates additional overhead and this why the most common IP address is

 * Hi, SLB does not contain any files that refer back to themselves, so it’s unclear
   what your webhost is referring to. If you can provide clarification on this from
   the host, that would be great.
 * Otherwise, you may want to delete the plugin and reinstall the latest version
   of SLB in case something occurred with the currently-installed copy.

 * This ticket has been closed due to inactivity. If you are still experiencing 
   an issue with SLB, please post an update with additional details and I would 
   be glad to reopen the ticket and take another look.
 * Thank you.
