Hello @peyman - welcome to the Local Community! 👋 Thank you for bringing your question here - can you provide a little more information? Are you activating ioncube via a plugin? What is the name & what is the purpose of the plugin? Thank you, Sam 👩🏼‍💻 ---

thank you sam Some WordPress plugins require ioncube because they are coded. I activated ioncube according to the instructions on the [your](http://community.localwp.com/t/how-do-i-install-ioncube-loader-in-a-site-using-the-custom-environment/6424) site and it works properly, but the speed of WordPress increased by 500% in all sections and became very slow. ---

This is probably a bug in the software ---

Hi @peyman - To clarify, I was asking if you’d reached out to the ioncube plugin’s team for support? Looks like they have a support HelpDesk on their website: [https://support.ioncube.com/](https://support.ioncube.com/) I would recommend starting there for support. Sam ---

No, in my opinion, the problem is yours, and it is better for your good team to think more about this issue to make localwp an unrivaled software. In my opinion, it is better to add a series of basic features, such as: 1.run automatically at startup Windows 2.minimize to taskbar 3.Hide app from taskbar ---
