Problem:
You are experiencing increased server side response times after updating WPML plugins, particularly noticing a spike in time spent on the

acf/load_field

hook.
Solution:
We recommend modifying the ACFML plugin to improve performance. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Navigate to

\ACFML\Helper\Fields::iterate

in

\wp-content\plugins\acfml\classes\Helper\Fields.php

.
2. Change the code from:

public static function iterate( $fields, $transformField, $transformLayout, $fieldBasePattern = '' ) {<br />    foreach ( $fields as &$field ) {

To:

public static function iterate( $fields, $transformField, $transformLayout, $fieldBasePattern = '' ) {<br />    foreach ( $fields as &$field ) {<br />        if ($field["value"] == NULL ){<br />            continue;<br />        }

NOTE: Always ensure you have a recent and working backup before making any changes.
