Update I’ve … Read more

I cannot speak to all plugins loading even when disabled, but gravity forms is not designed for heavy usage and could well be contributing significantly to the problem. I used to work with a large client that used gravity forms and their admin panels ( and submitting forms ) became so slow that eventually they … Read more
