wonder why it does that

I found this tip in another thread…

Someone found that the loading of one particular css file was causing their pmpro powered site to be very slow (a print CSS file).

This solution was posted:

//don't load PMPro print CSS
function init_dont_load_pmpro_print_css()
{
    wp_dequeue_style('pmpro_print');
}
add_action('init', 'init_dont_load_pmpro_print_css', 20);

(add to your theme’s functions.php).

It seems silly that one css file could be causing such performance problems, but I added the above code (to remove the css file) and my site suddenly started to perform like an averagely fast site (compared to super, slow before).

Give it a go.

Remember those posts are over 9 months ago. A lot has happened in 9 months

There has been a lot changed since then so unless you are proving your page loading times are slow, then add the code above with caution.
Add it and test again. If there are no changes then remove..
