I have a problem with feed loading times.
I dont know why they are slow but often time out !

1. Is it possible to alter the content of feed header info ?


header data atom link is given as;
atom:link href="http://www.site.net/news/rss.php" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />

but it doesnt go to a page ????
2. Is this right ?

Hi Chris

I got the following reply from a Google Consultant.

"I believe the slow RSS issue is caused by the high amount of MySQL queries on an unoptimized table. Try to run an OPTIMIZE query on the whole database or the table holding the articles."

Does this mean anything to you ?

Chris

This problem persists.

Optimize was run on mySQL, but loading is so slow that it times out. It is also getting worse.

The feed now fails validation and twitterfeed rejects the feed.

Have you any ideas or do you believe it server related.
