Does This Plugin Consume A Lot Of Resources

The plugin uses PHP regex to apply the automatic links and the consumed CPU resources are proportional with the number of defined keywords.

In other words, if you define 10 keywords PHP should run the regular expressions used to find the keyword 10 times.

If the number of regular expression is very high (100 – 1000) this may have an effect on the page loading time (this however totally depends on the server performance). In that case the use of a caching plugin is recommended.

How do I define ?define 10 keywords PHP, so that it can run 10 times?

What do I do to make it reduce my resource consumption because it’s shutting down my website. I touched a couple of figures in the plugin, don’t know if that could be the cause.

Hello trendbaze,

To reduce the amount of regex you can reduce the number of defined keywords in the Autolinks menu or activate a caching plugin. (E.g. WP Super Cache, etc.)

Where do I find defined keywords? Is it in options where I see default, analysis and advance? Which of the sections?

I’m referring to limiting the number of items/records present in Autolinks -> Autolinks menu. Each item/records defined in this menu will result in an additional set or regex applied.

So, the only solution is cache plugin right?

It depends on your preferences. Caching, reducing keywords number, using a CPU with different performance are all possible solutions.

What setting in the cache should I use that would help with this?

Hello trendbaze,

just make sure to enable the caching and serve the static pages for the posts where the automatic links feature is enabled. There are no other particular requirements.

I have done all, I have more than 4,000 defined keywords, it still shut down my website. Maybe I’m getting something wrong. Don’t know if your premium plugin would have solution to that. My server is NVMe 500GB diskspace, 26gb Ram and 16 Cores.

Hello trendbaze,

To solve I recommend:

• Reducing the number of keywords (4000 keywords is too much for most environment – each keyword should be verified by the plugin when the page is loaded using a regex) (< 500 is in most cases acceptable)
• Increase the cached page expiration time.

The Pro version is regex based like the free version. So there are no performance changes.
