Hi,

There appears to be a serious issue with every page request making a call to the MailChimp API.
Effectively every site that has the Enfold theme is forming a DDoS attack against MailChimp.

This also impacts site performance as it adds ~0.2055 seconds to every page load.

To fix this change the following code in:
/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/mailchimp.php

From:

			function popup_elements()
			{
				$api   = new av_mailchimp_api( $this->api_key );
				$owner = $api->api_owner();

				if(empty( $this->api_key ) || !$owner)

To:

			function popup_elements()
			{
				$api   = null;
				$owner = '';
				if ( ! empty( $this->api_key ) ) {
					$api   = new av_mailchimp_api( $this->api_key );
					$owner = $api->api_owner();
				}

				if(empty( $this->api_key ) || !$owner)

Still further even if you did have an API key defined – it shouldn’t be making that call as much as it is and this should be reviewed.

Cheers,
Dean.
