 * Hey [@benjamin4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benjamin4/),
 * Love your plugin! Recently, my system admin noticed that our server was getting
   hit with 502 errors. It appears our server (google cloud) is maxing out on its
   php worker limit.
 * We enabled New Relic and discovered an issue with MaxMind. Please see screenshots
   below. Maxmind said it’s not them. I’m wondering if you’ve ever seen this issue
   with your plugin?

 * Good question. The Screenshot indicates he is downloading the Maxmind file on
   every instance again, that’s why it takes so long to “fire up an instance”. The
   file is stored in /uploads by default, is this a shared directory for all workers?
   Do you have an idea to improve this situation?
 * You could use the option “manual” in the wordpress plugin and configure the Maxmind
   update script independently from the wordpress, so that WordPress doesn’t even
   try updating it.
