 * Hey, man. Great plugin. BUT… I have 74 plugins — response and load time under
   2 seconds. I add your plugin — even without configuration, just turning the sucker
   on — 12 seconds to load a page –> 12 seconds. Any suggestions… pretty please?

 * It sound like a conflict with another code.
    Can you also check the server error
   log? nd try to disable other plugins one by one to find the once which interfere.
   Also keep the **Rewrite – URL Slash** option off.

 * Great morning! Okay, I will start that process and update with results by this
   Sunday. Thanks for the suggestion. Note: I am using Kleo-Child (Kleo) theme, 
   in case you already know of a conflict there?

 * Well, I’ve been trying for long hours all day. No luck what-so-ever. I shut off
   plugins, one by one, in groups, removed custom code, custom js, sections of the
   Kleo theme, Kleo Child theme, htaccess, etc. No luck. Very disappointed I couldn’t
   figure it out. Any other suggestion? Any? 🙁 And I did try to your suggestions.

 * Nope 🙁 No log errors or screen notices using `error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('
   display_errors', 1);` and using `define('WP_DEBUG', false);` No Apache errors.
   No PHP errors in logs. No WordPress warnings. Just mass slow when I only activate
   your plugin… and configuring doesn’t make any difference. Just slow for activating
   your plugin — which I love and it works, but too darn slow (goes from 2 seconds
   load, to 6 to 8 seconds, upwards of 12 seconds to load 🙁 Any suggestions? Any?
   Publaseetoe… any? an…y?

 * That’s weird.
    Can you send what phpinfo() reports? Use the [https://pastebin.com/](https://pastebin.com/)
   or something similar to send the report.

 * Cool! I have to go to the man, I mean el workeetoe in the lab, so please give
   me until tonight to post. And thanks for sharing that pastebin link! Chat very
   soon! Note: Update: I have your plugin working just fine with another website
   on my localhost — yet it has a different theme, and only 8 plugins versus 74 
   plugins (but I don’t know if it’s a plugin issue since I tried deactivation with
   no results)…. . I just tried one more thing as I am typing, and still slow = 
   I **deactivated **ALL 74 plugins + yours = website screams fast, then I just **
   ONLY activated your plugin**, and website response time is that equal to the 
   74 plugins all activated…. 74 plugins activated takes 2 seconds to load website,
   yet, just your plugin takes 2 seconds to load website. If I use all 74 plugins
   + yours = anywhere from 7 to 12 seconds per page load. Okay, I will update tonight
   with php info. Thanks for your help!!! 🙂

 * Okay, before we get into php info, note, I already have the plugin working on
   another website on this localhost server and it’s working great. Now, I did buy
   Hide My WP –> YOURS is way easier and better, but I literally got the same results
   as yours –> 7 to 12 seconds to load a page. So then I removed that plugin (Hide
   My WP too) and I tried WP Super Minify –> Same results –> load page 7 to 12 seconds.
   If I leave the website as is, at 74 plugins –> screaming fast, like < 2 second
   page load. I even used P3 (yes it worked flawlessly on my 4.7.5 WordPress) and
   even used Query Monitor –> but no dice Chico = it didn’t find anything obtuse
   or odd. I wonder what it is.

 * So, since it slows down with your plugin, Hide My WP, and some other random plugins
   like WP Super Minify and BWP Minify, I am confident it’s NOT your plugin. Sorry
   for bothering and thanks for the help and awesome plugin. I will still have to
   figure out why its slowing down, but I don’t believe its your plugin anymore.
   Again, thanks for helping all the same, and of course providing an awesome FREE
   plugin. And those that want to know, Hide My WP costs about $20, and isn’t as
   easy or intuitive as this plugin. Just saying 😉

 * UPDATE = The issue is on localhost, WAMP, else XAMPP, else AMPPS settings…or 
   Windows 7 settings –> complicated nutty I couldn’t figure out.
 * But on dedicated server live site (using Centos 6 with PHP 5.5.38 on WordPress
   4.7.5) no problems! It works perfect 🙂
 * Thanks for the plugin and the wild chase!

 * Update: to really, really make this website scream in speed, I **strongly** encourage
   you to implement Opcache and Memcache.
 * Great, GREAT plugin.
 * Thank you!
