 * Hi grosbouff,
 * i managed to import 1000 pins but the plugin is getting slower and slower. There’s
   a checkbox “Delete Session”. How does this work? Would it be a solution for me
   to delete the cache by selecting this checkbox? Does the plugin afterwards recognize
   which pins already are imported? Can i see which boards and pins i have to chache?
 * Thanks a lot
    Marc

 * hi [@markamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markamp/).
    The cache stores
   information requested to Pinterest. The plugin works like this : – query Pinterest
   for informations (pins, boards, etc) and cache it – once the cache is filled,
   use it to import Pins.
 * SO you can clean the cache once you’ve imported your pins.
    It will not affect
   the pins already imported, but the cache needs to be filled again to recognize
   which boards have already been imported.
 * About the plugin getting slower and slower, check [this topic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/performance-14).
 * You can eventually try not caching ALL your boards at once but trying to cache
   only a few boards at a time.

 * I don’t cache ALL boards at once. But if the pins of the cached boards (for example
   the first 10 boards) are imported i add further boards (10) for caching. And 
   with every new board the plugin gets slower ….
 * So, if i understood you right, i shall cache for example 10 boards, import the
   pins, DELETE the cache and start with another 10 boards. Right?
 * I have to remember which boards have been cached and imported already. Right?
 * If i import pin by mistake which are imported already the plugin recognizes this
   and doesn’t create duplicates. Right?
 * Thanks a lot

 * Yeah, that is something to try out. Should work.

 * Yes

 * Yes, “import” will only import pins that are not existing yet, while “update”
   will update the existing pin but keeps its ID.
