Background of the issue:
I am using the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin version 4.8.1 on our DEV website, which operates in two languages: EN & FR. On November 10th, 2025, I used Code Profiler Pro to check the website's performance and found that the WPML plugin and its scripts are consuming a significant amount of resources, slowing down pages like the Homepage, Product Detail Pages, Cart Page, and Checkout Page. I have attached screenshots from Code Profiler Pro showing the server load and load time caused by each script. I have also created an admin user for testing at the URL: hidden link with the password: abcd!efghlm4pqtv. This URL is valid for the next 4 days 23:59 hours.

Symptoms:
The WPML plugin is causing a significant server load, leading to slow website performance on various pages.

Questions:
What part of the code or script might be causing the server load in your plugin?
How can I decrease the server load caused by the WPML plugin?
What else can I do to improve website performance?
