 * We had been struggling to pinpoint why our site’s WordPress admin backend was
   so slow – and it turns out this plugin was causing the problem.
 * As others have pointed out, it doesn’t seem to be compatible with PHP7 and deactivating
   it brought about a huge speed increase for us.
 * This is just a note to say be wary of this plugin if you are noticing performance
   issues. Try deactivating it to see if it makes a difference.
