 * Some notable other plugins I’m running, in case someone is aware if any are performance
   hogs:
 * Advanced Custom Fields Pro
    Advanced Custom Fields: Sidebar Selector Breadcrumb
   NavXT Envato WordPress Toolkit Google Analytics Dashboard for WP Redux Framework
   Social Metrics Tracker Wordfence Security Yoast SEO
 * **Server Specs:**
    Dual Quad Core Xeon 16GB RAM SSD Drives PHP 5.6 / MySQL 5.6/
   Apache 2.4 + OPcache
 * **OPcache PHP.ini Settings**
 *     ```
       opcache.memory_consumption=256
       opcache.interned_strings_buffer=8
       opcache.max_accelerated_files=4000
       opcache.revalidate_freq=60
       opcache.fast_shutdown=1
       opcache.enable_cli=1
       ```
