Last week, I added the PingCrawl plugin to my WordPress installation. Ah, it was interesting, to say the least. I saw the load time for posts increase dramatically, and even getting my WordPress administration screen to load in a timely fashion was difficult.
I even asked you guys, the readers to read my article, Automatically Add Links to Related Sites, and vote in a poll about PingCrawl.
The participation wasn’t that high, BUT, even I could see that my servers cannot handle the power of the great PingCrawl!
