I really hope I am able to solve the issue, because it takes me a lot of time just to do very minor changes.\r\n\r\nTo give more context, the site I am having issues with is [seasteading.org](http://www.seasteading.org).\r\n\r\n> The technology to foster the fluid mechanics of voluntary societies is at hand. The Seasteading Institute is a nonprofit think-tank working to provide a machinery of freedom to choose new societies on the blue frontier. The most successful floating cities can then inspire change around the world.\r\n\r\nHere are some screenshots of what happens when I load the WordPress customizer for a Layers page that has almost no content:\r\n\r\n![screen shot 2015-08-24 at 6 23 52 pm](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1114844/9454363/6c5f9e66-4a8f-11e5-9c04-3fbccd7dc418.png)\r\n\r\n![screen shot 2015-08-24 at 6 39 42 pm](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1114844/9454377/8669d164-4a8f-11e5-9650-64687b252ec2.png)\r\n\r\nAs you can see, it loads many images that are not necessary. In fact it seems that it loads thumbnails of all the images that are contained in my other Layers pages. 500 requests for a total of 28.9 MB, that's quite a lot for an empty page!\r\n\r\nI suspect it's a performance issue related to Layers (I am running Layers 1.2.4), but it might also be related to WordPress (I am running WordPress 4.3). It's hosted on the Professional plan of WP Engine. And although I do have a couple of plugins that are activated, I highly doubt the issue is related to one of my plugins.\r\n\r\nLet me know if there is any way you could help me debug this issue and also if you are able to reproduce it. I would be ready to give you access to my WordPress admin so that you can debug the issue yourself. Thank you very much :smiley: "}}
