Site slowed down after last update to version 3.7.2

Thank you for reporting this.

Is it the admin dashboard or frontend that is slowed down? Or both?
Do you have access to a php error log, and if so, does it have any entries related to the plugin?

The release didn’t have any changes to the way widget areas/sidebars are fetched, but it did include updates for some libraries (though it ought not to affect load times on the frontend).

It would seem only from the frontend.
I did a scan with Query Monitor and actually reports several entries related to the plugin.
for example:

update_option ()
wp-includes / option.php: 369

update_meta_cache ()
wp-includes / meta.php: 825

WP_Query-> get_posts ()
wp-includes / class-wp-query.php: 2821

Thank you for the details, I can see what you are referring to. The number of DB queries should in general not be a problem, especially the ones with _meta_cache.
Are any of the queries abnormally slow though?

I think the HTTP call is much more likely to be the cause of the slowness, and I will look into it asap.

Thank you so much!
I do not know if it can be useful but from browsing logs when we browse the pages of the site we have noticed numerous calls to the server:
us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

@kaliraw we are working to release a fix to the Freemius SDK asap. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Thank you very much!

I have just updated the plugin and it works perfectly.
Thanks @intoxstudio and @svovaf for the great work!!
