Hi. I have a forum site. I am wondering Does the SEO friendly URL slow down the server loading speed ? Thanks
It does add load depending on the number of request you get. usually is negligible but i have seen cases where vbseo has added more load to servers.
Yes, if have 60.000+ visits by day, for example, server load will go high if use SEO url. But you can perform the load using a memory cache object. Memcached is an example, xcache is another. So it will be store in the RAM all request more frequently so the server don't need to load more CPU for process the same request, requested before.
