I'm running a rather lenghty form with some calculations, lookups to another list, and stripe.

The form is multi-lingual (wmpl) and a few conformations are sent using wp mail smtp.

 

I have some considerable issues with performance and the hosting plan even blocks everything as I have too many calls to admin-ajax.php.

 

I have already switched of the "load and save with ajax" boxes in the settings of my form.

Form is in production for registrations for an event, so difficult to shut down and do a lot of testing.

Anybody experiencing the same issues?

It sounds like your host is throttling your bandwidth. WordPress uses admin-ajax all the time as do many other plugins. I doubt Formidable is causing admin-ajax to overload. How many calls to admin-ajax are showing up on the network tab in the browser's developer tools? Your form design could be at fault as well. How are you performing the calculations? In PHP or jQuery? How are you performing the lookups?
