stevenH-36	Background of the issue: I installed and used WPML to translate a post on my website. After translating just one post, I noticed my website started loading very slowly. I temporarily deactivated the WPML Translation Plugins, but the website still loaded slowly. I reactivated WPML and am seeking assistance to resolve this issue. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link Symptoms: The website loads very slowly after installing and using WPML, even after deactivating and reactivating the plugin. Questions: How can I fix the slow loading issue on my website after using WPML? Is my database unable to handle the WPML database?

Maybe you could install the "Query Monitor" plugin and enable WP DEBUG to get a better idea about what is wrong with the website. https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/ Debugging in WordPress: https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/ Once you obtained a debug.log file and found errors that relate to WPML, please send us the details. It would also be very helpful if you could provide us with WPML debugging information. More information here: https://wpml.org/de/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/ Best regards Andreas
