Plugin causes major performance issues in wp-admin

The Trendmd_Admin::is_remote_fopen() method causes performance issues in wp-admin because it repeatedly opens a remote connection to TrendMD’s server on each wp-admin page load.

You should implement WP transient caching in this method to mitigate the delay in page load performance that this plugin causes when activated.

Alternatively find a way to only call the API endpoint once per request cycle and/or make sure the above method only gets called when the check is actually needed and not everytime the WordPress ‘admin_init’ hook is called.

Thanks!
