 * Hi,
    I’ve noticed that my CPU resources usage is really high. After digging into
   it, I found that it is caused by the plugin (Instagram feed), which I’ve also
   checked with my server hosting provider.
 * Since I want to keep this plugin, I’m thinking is there any way to lower its 
   activity to lower the CPU usage?
 * Thank you.
    Nora

 * Hey Nora,
 * We have an update (version 2.0) that drastically changes how the plugin works.
   It will likely fix this issue for you.
 * If you’d like to try it out before it’s officially released later this month,

 * Hi Craig,
 * Thank you for your response. I think it’s probably in the beta stage, so I’ll
   probably just wait for the official update.
 * Thank you.
    🙂
 * Sincerely,
    Nora
