 * Just noticed that load of the home page is hugely impacted by using 6 file_get_contents
   calls by WD_ASP_Search_Shortcode::handle function. Is there a way to mitigate
   this performance penalty for home page? It adds more than 2 seconds to the overall
   load.
 * Tried to follow

 * > Load CSS files conditionally option

   > as the CSS files are loaded asynchronously on page load
 * Didn’t notice any change in load time and the same _get\_file\_contents _calls
   are made.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for letting us know. I just answered this same question on codecanyon,
   you will see more detailed explanation there.
 * If you don’t mind, I will mark this as resolved, as it does not affect the lite
   version of the plugin, only the Pro version.
 * Best regards,
    Ernest M.
