 * Hello [@rawny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rawny/) and thanks for your
   thoughts about Wordfence!
 * We’d love to help solve your issues but you haven’t asked for any help and forum
   rules prevent us from doing so in the reviews section. If you want help please
   post a question in the forums and our staff there can work with you to solve 
   the issue. I checked and can’t find a support request from you.
 * Wordfence Support Forum:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordfence/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordfence/)
 * I recently did a test with Wordfence being installed on multiple sites. I used
   web.dev, GTMetrix, and our own FastorSlow.com site speed tests and found some
   interesting results.
 * I found that sites with Wordfence installed were not seeing any difference in
   Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, SEO, 1st Contentful Paint, Speed 
   Index, Largest Contentful Paint, Time to Interactive, Total Blocking Time, Cumulative
   Layout Shift than without Wordfence.
 * You mentioned testing on 3 different servers, but I am curious about what sort
   of servers they are. If you’re seeing any sort of issues, we would like to take
   a look at what might be causing the problems in our support forum, which I had
   provided to you already.
 * Thanks again for your feedback! We appreciate it!

 * I’m using Apache2+php8.1+percona-server8.0. I have a large site with tons of 
   traffic. I have 128gb RAM (for cache), 8 cores and an nvme ssd. Absolutely 0 
   difference in performance with wordfence activated or not. WPML uses more resources
   than WF, so does Elementor. I’m guessing rawny has some web server configuration
   problem.
