 * The plugin increased cpu usage on the server too much, causing slowness and stability
   issues on the site.
 * Any possible solution?

 * HI [@atritol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atritol/)
 * do you have many Archives or Terms Archives? This is the only thing that at the
   moment may consume memory.
 * If you haven’t touched the Terms Archives settings, or if you don’t have a lot
   of Terms Archives, the CPU usage may be caused by the deactivation of a plugin
   that you should not deactivate.
 * In normal situations FDP consumes almost nothing, so probably there are some 
   issues.
 * First, please, let me know about your Terms Archives settings. If this is the
   cause, the next version has a solution for this issue. If you want I can provide
   you a beta version.
 * If this is not the cause we will investigate deeper.
 * Have a great day!
 * Jose

 * Thanks for your prompt response.
   If I have multiple FilesThe site is an online
   store with terms and information pages about changes, guarantees, etc.I like 
   the idea of the beta.

 * Many thanks to you [@atritol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atritol/)
 * Here you can find the beta version: [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/freesoul-deactivate-plugins.1.9.4.0.beta-6.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/freesoul-deactivate-plugins.1.9.4.0.beta-6.zip)
 * Better you test it on a staging environment.
 * You will find the page Experiments under the admin menu item of Freesoul Deactivate
   Plugins.
   There you can move the option of the Archives and Terms Archives from
   the database to the filesystem.If you have many tags, that option may be big.
   If it’s moved to the filesystem, once FDP detects the URL, it will read a very
   small file on the server instead of autoloading a big option from the database.
   The settings will be distributed in many very small files.It’s still beta. So,
   make a backup before doing anything, and better if you don’t do it on a live 
   site.
 * I suspect the size of the option of the Archives and Terms Archives, but until
   now this is only a supposition. So, please, if you still have a big impact on
   CPU usage let me know and we will investigate deeper.
 * If the beta version doesn’t help, check if the CPU usage is high loading any 
   page or only specific pages. If it’s only on the backend, or only on the frontend.
   If it’s different if you enable all the plugins on the page where you have high
   CPU usage.
 * If nothing helps, if you want you can give me the list of your plugins, and I
   will try to reproduce the same issue to see if there is conflict with a plugin.
   
   In that case, please, go to Freesoul Deactivate Plugins => Tools icon => Favorite
   Plugins => Export. If you give me the exported list I can upload the same plugin
   with a few clicks.
 * Have a great day!
 * Jose

 * Hi [@atritol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atritol/)
 * if you want you can update to v. 1.9.4.0 that was published a couple of hours
   ago.
 * If after moving the Archives and Terms Archives option to the filesystem you 
   still have high CPU usage, I suggest you export the list of your plugins as suggested
   in my previous comment.
   I also suggest you measure the plugin consumption with
   [Code Profiler,](https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-profiler/) and let me know
   if it also measures a high consumption. It would be great if you can share a 
   screenshot of the results given by Code Profiler, so I can see the contributions
   given by the FDP mu-plugin and the FDP standard plugin.
 * Have a great day!

 * Hi [@giuse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/giuse/)

   were released
