[Plugin: SEO Smart Links] Causes huge CPU spikes

    I have been using SEO Smart Links for a while and love it. However, there is one major drawback which I have not been able to get over and have been forced to disable the plugin.

    Basically, at random points in time, the CPU goes nuts, spikes way up and the server crashes. In testing my system over the last two weeks, I have isolated SEO Smart Links as one of the problem plugins creating this phenomenon (AmazonFeed and YARPP are two others).

    I am a bit stumped as to what is happening here. My site uses Hyper-Cache and has 1800 posts and about 180 tags and 12 categories.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    1800 posts are a lot. Indeed too many. Because the plugin using preg_replace function it’s repeating the search for 1800 post title for each … whatever too technical here.

    Perhaps SEO Smart Links should take it to the next level and replace the links inside the database table instead, then let users to choose to update the post content using clicks, not automatic.

    In your case you should only use related posts.

    thanks for the reply, binh. My suggestion would be a caching feature that circumvents mysql queries. But, it is a great plugin for those with fewer posts. I still think it can be a boon in conjunction with a related posts feature as it links out to tags and categories instead of specific posts only.
