There is probably another issue you facing because your page should load
normally the full list.

If you use the “Generate Tag” you choose Drop-down menu and give in (the field named Choices, 1 on each line!) all the countries you wish.

Look here (image), works like a charm.
Still having issues? Check your other code because this (as shown on img sample) is as it has to be.
Still not convinced, look also here.

Look in backend, tab name is contact, select specific form(if more then 1) and change the field you want to.

Maybe this helps you a little more?

Is it solved, or still waiting?

My .htaccess files are making things run really slow because there are so many IP

Just some hints (don’t take it personal I just hope this helps you some more, and gives you info you maybe was not aware of ?!)to “speed up” some browsing for your sites.

Taken both links you mentioned and did a fast check. It is not the (only) .htaccess which (could) slowing down your sites it is the combination of missing (a lot easy code)some important code which could help.

Your site(s) are not using gzip for example, check with this link shows it innerhalve 5 seconds: Gzip test

Make sure you have made backups before adding your files.

You could try to compress by adding following code at the top (must be the first line!!) of your header.php:

<?php if (substr_count($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')) ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); else ob_start(); ?>

Note: If it cause problems on your server you should remove it (it is just a quick “dirty” help which already could solve some)
Or drop following in your .htaccess (don’t add in header.php and .htaccess at same moment, try one at a time!!!):

########## Begin - Automatic compression of resources
# Compress text, html, javascript, css, xml, kudos to Komra.de
# May kill access to your site for old versions of Internet Explorer
# The server needs to be compiled with mod_deflate otherwise it will send HTTP 500 Error.
# mod_deflate is not available on Apache 1.x series. Can only be used with Apache 2.x server.
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain text/html text/xml text/css application/xml application/xhtml+xml application/rss+xml application/javascript application/x-javascript
########## End - Automatic compression of resources

Note: If it cause problems on your server you should remove it

Using Etags are also a little help, sample code you could use/add into your main .htaccess:

FileETag MTime Size

Note: If it cause problems on your server you should remove it

There are many ways to speed up sites (even without using plugins), slow loading sites also could have other reasons. (think about your webhoster) A few blocked ip’s aint slowing down that much.

Another help could be GTmetrix to analyze performanze!(Used this one to check your links and it explained already some, as mentioned above)

You showed some blocked ip’s, to prevent mass block ip lists inside your .htaccess there is no need to give in ip’s more then once!
The list shows for example:

204.93.60.*
204.93.60.128
204.93.60.182
204.93.60.185
204.93.60.207
204.93.60.57

Using 204.93.60.* is already enough to block those other 5 so no need to have them overthere. (The asterisk is already telling the server that every number at the place of your asterisk should be blocked)

To block some hacking tools they use following in your .htaccess could not harm:

# Block most common hacking tools
SetEnvIf user-agent "Indy Library" stayout=1
SetEnvIf user-agent "libwww-perl" stayout=1
deny from env=stayout
##########

Another cause of slowing down a site is “misusing” social share buttons. (I don’t want to be nasty but on http://kidchefeliana.com there is a reason to look over again imho)

There is nothing worse then being under attack but some code could indeed help to prevent them keeping going on.
Above mentioned code is just an example to do some quick tricks and may/or may not help you solving some issues.

Cheers.
