crossjoinS	Background of the issue: We are experiencing a very slow performance of part of the WPML plugin when we want to change languages on our current site hidden link and our under development site. This is affecting our page speed score and possibly our user navigation. Symptoms: The issue is on language switching or opening on translation languages. After the first change, the site seems to have no problems, but the first change is always very slow. Questions: What can we do to overcome the slow performance when changing languages? Why is the first language change always very slow?
