Every ACF field that needs to be fetched requires at least 2 database queries. So the answer is always yes. A few fields won’t hurt performance, but it can add up quickly. A good caching plugin helps with this.
Any plugin slows down your site. The question really is by how much, and is it worth it. The only real way to find out is to do your own performance testing because it depends on how you use ACF, how many fields you have, how fast your hosting is etc.
And like another contributor said, if your site is cached (and if not, why the hell not?) then the majority of the times a page is accessed it won’t be regenerated anyway.
Technically yes, but voted no because it’s not an appreciable amount so long as you are taking steps for optimization.
If you aren’t taking steps for optimization than how slow your website is probably doesn’t matter anyway.
