Carlos Rojas Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+01:00)	Hello, Thank you for contacting us 1.- Please share the debug information of the site in your next message following the steps described in this guide: https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/ 2.- I kindly ask you to follow these steps to isolate the cause of the issue: - Create a full backup of the site - Update any outdated plugins or themes - Flush any cache memory that might exist - Deactivate all plugins, including the WPML ones - Activate a default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty - Activate the WPML plugins - If the performance issue disappears, start by activating the theme and then the rest of the plugins, one by one, until the issue appears again and you find the culprit. Could you tell me the results of the steps described above? Best regards, Carlos
