Sometime back i wrote about How to reduce WordPress server load on Shared Hosting and there i talked about Google XML sitemap Generator
plugin can be one of the main culprits behind your High server/ CPU
load on your shared hosting. In this post i will talk about few things
about the same plugin and how to configure some of its settings so that
it uses less CPU or memory on shared hosting.
I am assuming here that you already have installed the plugin and have some issues with your CPU/Server load on shared hosting.
You should change the default options only when you know what you are
doing. Some of the configuration changes as described below surely will
help you reduce your server load and run your blog smoothly.
1. BASIC OPTIONS CONFIGURATION
Under Basic options, you can untick the option of ” Rebuild sitemap if you change the content of the blog “.
This small change in setting will help you reduce server load as the
sitemap wont be generated everytime you write a new post. You can
generate sitemap manually if you have issues with your server.
2. ADVANCE OPTIONS SETTINGS
You
can limit the number of posts to be included in sitemap to 5 or 10. It
will help you reduce server load with no problems with your sitemap as
it will be uptodate.
The reason as talked about in the plugin FAQ too :If you have problems with the maximum execution time or memory limit you can limit the number of posts which will be included in the sitemap. Newer posts are included first so your sitemap will stay up-to-date.
3. BUILD SITEMAP IN BACKGROUND.
Make sure that the option of ” build sitemap in background” is ticked ON. Its a must if you are on a shared server.
Hope
these settings will help you reduce the server load and make your blog
run smooth. If you applied all the settings as described above, then
may be you will need to build sitemaps manually each time by navigating
to Plugin settings page but i don’t think that’s a big issue.
