 * Hello All,
 * Just an update. I noticed my site was getting very sluggish. And the site was
   going up and down I was getting 503 errors. My cpu and memory was 100.
 * My first thought was that it was this Kale theme. Well let me tell you it was
   NOT this theme.
    What I did do is disable all plugins and added them back one
   by one. It was some of the plugins I had installed. Jetpack, Joast and Disquz
   to name a few. What I did learn is the less plugins you use the better. Do I 
   need above plugins? Not really. Yes Disquz was a fancy comment plugin but who
   cares 🙂 At least I know now my site is back up and running. Just saying don’t
   blame the theme right away ones you upgrade. Check the plugins first 🙂 Again
   Thanks for this beautiful elegant simple theme.
