 * Awesome plugin!
 * I’m not sure what the file below does but when I run a test on tools.pingdom.
   com, it takes almost 7 seconds to load and is throwing off my performance. Can
   you tell me how to resolve this?

 * Hi there,
 * Are you using a shared hosting plan? Try disabling the Live Traffic option. That’s
   what is causing your slowdown.
