Reply To: Search Results not links???
hmmm… that’s interesting, I fully believe you, but am struggling to see why it should either slow the site or cause other issues.
I would suggest you undo the content-search.php change you made above and see if that affects anything.
Beyond that, If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and elementor plugin and my elementor fix and see if this sppeeds it up. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Then come back
