I also got the same VaultPress warning the other day. Any update would be appreciated…

@linksoftware – Is WP Word Count supposed to log its counts when a post is published or whenever the blog is accessed???

I’ve been experiencing terrible performance issues with several of my sites in a Multisite install as well and I believe I’ve traced it back to this plugin. Using the Query Monitor plugin, I was seeing thousands of INSERT queries every time a page loaded, which would delay the page by a good 40-50 seconds. The site in question has 3,300 posts and when I look at my server logs, MySQL is sustaining hundreds of inserts a second for no apparent reason.

It almost sounds like it’s just stuck in a loop updating post counts over and over again.

I just disabled the plugin and page load time dropped significantly. I’ve been using WP Word Count for years and otherwise I love it, so please let me know if there are any details I can provide to make looking into this easier!

This was driving me nuts, too. I love this plugin, but I’m not sure why everything else has options to turn on or off and yet this one is just kinda built-in and buried.

Anyways, it took some digging, but if you go to:
/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/admin/class-admin.php

And look for the line:
add_filter( 'name_save_pre', array( $this, 'remove_stopwords_from_slug' ), 0 );

You can just comment it out like this:
// add_filter( 'name_save_pre', array( $this, 'remove_stopwords_from_slug' ), 0 );

…and the stop word filtering for slugs will no longer take place.
