 * We have had issues with over usage on CPU, and I have now narrowed it down to
   the processes related with the execution of admin-ajax.php and I found out that
   external connections to IP addresses part of Amazon network are being made.
 * Your plugin seems to be searching for products in the Amazon catalog, access 
   real-time prices and availability information from Amazon’s servers, from where
   the frequent executions of admin-ajax.php.
 * From within the plugin how do I decrease the frequency?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fissue-with-cpu-usage%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I’ve had the same issue as described above (CPU overusage). Have you all also
   had issues with your Amazon Links appearing as code on the live posts? That’s
   an additional issue I’m having and would like to have it resolved. If I built
   the links through Amazon Link Builder I get these errors now (well it just shows
   code in the live post) but if I did the link through the Amazon website text 
   link I don’t have the issue.
 * It’s not happening on all posts, which doesn’t make much sense, the feature I
   miss the most is being able to put a “carousel” at the end of my post. Any idea
   when this might be fixed?

 * Hi
 * [@kathleenpope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kathleenpope/)
 * thanks for mentioning this, I was just about to tell the client that links will
   have to be generated in Amazon and pasted manually into the products page of 
   her website.
 * I will let you know how i get on with the HTML/coding showing on the pages.
