# Odd query behaviour?

 * Hi.
    Like other people have pointed out, Caldera Forms seems to be impacting 
   site performance dramatically lately.
 * My site has become almost unusable over the past 3 weeks, prompting me to do 
   some digging. See linked a screenshot of what the Query Monitor plugin found.
   It appears that CF runs 19 queries on every single page load, regardless of whether
   the pages have any relation to CF or not.
 * Any idea why Caldera runs form queries from the database even when all I am doing
   is load the top level main WP admin panel or pages, such as the site’s Users 
   page? Odd behaviour, don’t you think?
 * What’s more, most of the CF forms I have in the DB are inactive (I’d hoped that
   making them inactive would reduce load, but apparently not). – I should point
   out that none of the forms are publicly accessible and I’m the only user on my
   dev site, so these queries aren’t being run because some other user is busy filling
   in forms!
 * If this issue doesn’t get fixed soon then I’ll have no choice but to abandon 
   CF. It would be a huge pity because I rather like the features, but features 
   are only great if I have a site that’s actually able to load.
