Identical situation here – except in my case it’s even worse. With Yoast SEO disabled completely, my site load time is 3.0 seconds, with 7.0.0 enabled, it goes up to over 5 seconds as well, but with 7.0.2 enabled… it spikes to a staggering 20 seconds. This is very, very concerning. Rolling back to 6.3 for the time being…
