YD FAST page update
When using WordPress as a CMS, it is usual to create web sites with a lot of hierarchical pages. When reaching a few hundred pages and using custom permalinks, page updates become VERY slow. Eventually, when reaching about 1000 pages, page management becomes very tedious, because any change in a page takes a few minutes to be saved (during which the site usually comes to a halt because of heavy database load)… when script or database max request times are reached, it becomes impossible to modify anything in a page.
The reason is that rewrite rules for all the blog’s pages are rebuilt everytime something is changed and saved in a page, even if url structure has no reason to change at all.
This very short and simple plugin fixes this. Rewriterules structure will get rebuilt only if the name of the page, or its parent attachment are changed.
Expect hundred-fold improvement in page update delay in the admin for a 1000+ pages blog.

@Mike:
No setting is necessary. Just activate the plugin, and check that when you change something on an existing page it gets much faster.

Great plugin! Merged my new blog with old one of nearly six hundred article, and was immediately greeted with the characteristic sluggishness. Plug-in cured it! Thanks…

I have’nt installed “YD FAST” yet, but I am reading up on it. Does this plugin work well with cache-plugins, like “WP Super Cache”? And does it work with WP version 3.0.5?
Thanks
le 22 February 2011 à 18:30 h
Yes it works with cache plugins, it does not interact as the same level as cache plugins at all.

That’s good to know. Thank’s Y.D.

Does it work with wp 3.1?
le 16 February 2012 à 18:33 h
@Nissim: yes, it works flawlessly with WordPress 3.1. The biggest site I’m using it with (over 3000 pages) actually runs WP3.1.

Are you sure?
I haven’t seen any change with the update of posts/pages.
The same issue. It takes few minutes to be updated.
My site is with 1080 posts.

This plugin does not deal with issues regarding posts. It only improves the delay regarding pages. If you have performance issues with posts, you might need to upgrade your hosting environment and/or get rid of unnecessary or badly-written plugins and/or change to a better permalink structure. My plugin can’t help.
The page update problem only arises on blogs using a permalink structure that does not contain numbers, with a lot of pages.
My plugin is only useful if you cannot change the permalink structure and need all those pages.

Hi, does it run on wp3.8 ?
thank you
le 7 February 2014 à 13:02 h
I am not sure the issue is there on WP 3.8 anymore.

Just wondering if this plugin still works with the latest versions of WP, and if it is even necessary? I would love to speed up WordPress in any way possible, and this looks like it could help.

@Dave: this plugin is outdated. It dealt with issues that have since been fixed in WordPress, so you do not need it with any recent version of WP.
