The plugin writes to the database every time someone visits any of your posts & pages. * Note that Bring The Pixel, the company behind the Bimber theme you’re using right now, has borrowed a lot of code from an old version of the WordPress Popular Posts plugin and integrated it into their theme to provide the Trending / Hot Topics features. This might be having an impact on your site’s performance. * Try any of the [performance tools](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/7.-Performance) provided by WordPress Popular Posts, these might help improve your site’s performance. * Thread Starter [bugun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bugun/) * (@bugun) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-popular-post-cpu-usage/#post-10481141) * ok, * Can I determine the query frequency? for example, every 1 hour or 3 hour? * thanks. * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-popular-post-cpu-usage/#post-10481355) * Did you check the link I shared on my previous comment? * Thread Starter [bugun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bugun/) * (@bugun) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-popular-post-cpu-usage/#post-10481420) * yes I’m reading now. 🙂 I am trying to understand.
