 * Hey there alisamski,
 * How are you doing today?
 * That would highly depend on the amount of sidebars that are being replaced on
   your site.
 * Can you please let me know how many sidebars do you have and where are sidebars
   being replaced on your site?
 * Please let me know 🙂
 * Cheers,
    Bojan

 * I am experiencing the same thing. Major slowdown on my site and this plugin seems
   to be the main culprit. I am using the plugin to replace the sidebar in each 
   category on my websites (between 100-300 sidebars) is there anyway to increase
   the speed with this many replacements?

 * Hey there LPBreeders,
 * That’s a lot of sidebars and it explains why why yous site is slow. Do you have
   any kind of caching setup on your site?
 * If you don’t I’d advise on setting up one. Please check the link [here ](https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/5-quick-ways-to-speed-up-your-wordpress-site/?po=1)
   where you can find some other suggestions for speeding up your site.
 * Hope this helps 🙂
 * Cheers,
    Bojan
