Many thanks for checking that out. By turning plugins on and off, we are getting closer to undertsanding what is causing the performance hit and it is certainly not all GTranslate by any means – in fact, the more we test, the less it looks like GTranslate is causing us any issues.
I need to speak with our developers about Cloudflare again. We were using it but it was causing all sorts of issues with the website which ceased as soon as we deactivated Cloudflare.
Again, my sincere thanks for your help with this.
