After thorough investigation from our hoster, we found out that the cause lies in the 'Hikashop geolocation plugin'. Once disabled, the page loaded perfectly fast again, and once enabled, it takes ages again. Then, I checked the settings within the plugin: Under 'Geolocation Service', it said 'both'. After ticking 'IPInfoDB' only, it worked fine (!), and having ticked 'GeoPlugin' only, it is not loading anymore. So, there seems to be a problem with the GeoPlugin service? Do I need to enter an API key (currently empty) or is there a way to use both services again? thanks in advance, Chris")        Category: [General Talk about HikaShop](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop "Suggest your feature requests and ideas for HikaShop")     Topic started 5 years 9 months ago, by [cskmanagement](/forum/user/34856-cskmanagement "View cskmanagement's Profile")       [Last Post](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/901736-geolocation-plugin-stopping-page-to-load-properly-problem-w-geoplugin-service#337421 "Hi,  I don't see how.
