 * Hello,
 * Each time we receive form submissions, the Advanced CF7 DB creates new columns
   with headings like “—————————–7e21ce1bb2025a–” and because we get lots of contact
   form submissions (10,000s) this is causing 1,000’s of new, empty fields which
   significantly slows down the loading of the data.

 * Could you please help out?

 * Hello [@riweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/riweb/),
 * Sorry for the late response.
 * Can you provide us the page link where the form is been displayed, so we can 
   try to identify the issue. Or if possible the back office details too.
 * Regards,
