How can I speed up my RSS feeds?

    It takes a long time for my website to load and I think its due to my RSS feeds. Do you have any suggestions on how to make RSS feeds load faster?

    Thank you for your time!

    Nothing you can really do except have a script written to cache them every so often. Life feeds displayed with a parser have to be polled on each page load and has many points of failure along the way.

    I think there is a way but I forgot and it's somthing I need to do as well for a new site.
    It ha something to do with instructing the parser to only look for RSS on certain pages, NOT all pages in the website domain.

    I am using SSI with only 3 or 4 feeds on 1 page and takes 20 to 30 seconds to load.

    anyone..?

    What are you doing to display your feeds? If you are using rss2html.php there is a cache add-on you can use that will significantly improve the load time. Hopefully this will help feedforall.com/rss-cache.htm

    you can use caching. just write to a file or store into database and then use rss reader to display it. you can run cron job for updating the latest news.
