 * Hi, Actually it’s a great plugin and i really like it but i have a strange problem
   with it!
 * My site score at “[http://tools.pingdom.com&#8221](http://tools.pingdom.com&#8221);
   is 99 which is great and i have done a lot of work to get that. i installed the
   plugin and did a test and the score drop down to 76!! Please see the screen shots
   
   [Before](http://oi58.tinypic.com/2ivzqk8.jpg) and [After](http://oi60.tinypic.com/29f6yiq.jpg)
 * I did combined and minified all js and css files without any problems but the
   problem still remains.
    Now i deactivate the plugin so the score back to 99.
 * Would you please help?
 * Thanks

 * Hi elhafez, thanks for your post –
 * This is probably due to a few things:
 * 1) Adding Google Translate is an outside website tool that requires a connection
   to Google. Even with no features this would slow down your site.
 * 2) Images are loaded separately in the plugin – I will be working to make this
   better in the future.
 * 3) Coding structure – there are a few places where the coding could be trimmed
   to make things more efficient, but I would say this is less important than the
   above 2 items.
 * This will take some time, so I will kindly ask your patience until I can update
   in the next version – most likely 1 month until next update.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi elhafez, I just updated the plugin to 4.0.1. As of now #3 above has been improved.
 * I’ll be working on an image sprite for all the flags in the next few updates –
   not sure when it’s going to happen yet.
 * Thanks!
