max_execution_time and CPU load limitation for big board.

[voter]

My Host have a limitation for 60 Seconds to run any script. This is protection of the server from attacks and spam.

But this makes problems for my relativly Big Board.

Since my Forum got more than 200 tousand posts, I am having trouble to generate my sitemaps, as of it takes more than 60 seconds.

Is there any way to make some SLEEP during sitemap generation if runing time reaches 60 seconds?

Or I would like to have many step for generation and say run vbseo_sitemap.php, each limited with set_time_limit(50); 50 seconds.

At worst case I am thinkign to defining many scheduled tasks one after another that helps to finish weekly generation of sitemaps, otherwise I need to run it manually that generation finishes.

IMO, you shouldn't be including showpost urls in the sitemap.

But I want to have showpost urls in sitemap, as of they are in any case indexed by search enginges.

Or what will happen, when the number of threads, members profiles reach big numbers, that vbseo_sitemap.php will need again more than 60 seconds for generation of sitemap? Do I need to switch off then showthread, then showmembers and so on, till sitemap will contain only showforums? Then I will use othe sitemap generators and switch off useless sitemap from vbSEO ;o)

If you want showposts OK don't include tags , archive , albums picture or any thing other

Include showthread pages in your sitemap instead of showpost. Content included in those individual showpost pages is SAME as that in the showthread pages. It's all dupe.

- Showpost or not showpost! That is the question..

- Enable crawling of showpost?

The only type of pages that are worth including in the sitemap are :
showthread, forumdisplay, blog (if you have them) and to some extent 'member profiles'.

What will happen, when the number of threads, members profiles reach big numbers

By the time you reach those numbers, you'd be on a dedicated server.

yes, i highly recommend NOT including showpost either.

Also, it may be time for an upgraded hosting package... perhaps a vps.
