Disabling autosave can significantly reduce server load, certainly if you haven’t changed the constant in wp-config.php from default.<\/p>\n
On PrimaryBlogger we have a lot of concurrent users, regardless of the time you set it always appears to try and autosave on “New Post\/Edit Post” page load.<\/p>\n
Network activating the below script I’ve created has lowered our overall server load by 0.5, which might not seem a lot but that’s freeing a lot of resources and allowing the new post page to load in half the time – you can also publish now straight away instead of waiting for the “Publish” button to activate.<\/p>\n
Here’s the code:<\/p>\n
function disabler_kill_autosave(){\nwp_deregister_script('autosave');\n}\n \nadd_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'disabler_kill_autosave' );<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Disabling autosave can significantly reduce server load, certainly if you haven’t changed the constant in wp-config.php from default.
