 * We regularly deal with users reporting slow sites or performance issues when 
   using your plugin. This is due to a PHP session being created on every page load
   in **woocommerce-currency-switcher/classes/storage.php**, which causes cache 
   to be busted and not work.
 * Can you improve the plugin to consider performance and perhaps use transients
   instead? We typically end up having users switch to WooPayments for multi-currency
   features, which don’t break caching. 
   Thanks for considering!
