All In One SEO Pack for WordPress is a Pig
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 | Tech |
Im just about to launch a new WordPress site at work and Im tuning everything to be as fast as possible. In trying to track down inconsistent performance I installed WP Tuner and discovered that the All In One SEO Pack plugin is sometimes driving up database loads like crazy, even with half of the options disabled.
On this page its adding 4.9 seconds to the page loading time. More, actually, since wp-blog-header uses less database time when AIOSP is deactivated.
On other pages AIOSP is only adding a couple of hundred milliseconds to the page loads.
When I set WP Tuner to Show Everything so I can see all queries, its obvious that AIOSP is doing SQL queries for every link on the page. Why I have no idea.
If I cant make AIOSP behave then Im going to figure out how to replicate the features. Adding nofollow tags to the appropriate pages is pretty easy. My theme framework can insert canonical URLs. I think I can create meta descriptions via custom fields and then code that into the templates.
P.S. When I contacted tech support at my Web host about sluggish performance one of their first questions was if I was using an SEO plugin. I had previously tried SEO Ultimate and it had the same problem.
