Sitemap Generator Forum

i use bluehost, when it begin to crawl a while, it shows This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota, i try it again and again, and it doesn't work the same way, the map only indexed 241page,
what can i do?

Hello,

you can use "Make a delay between requests" option to reduce the server load.

This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota

I seen another post in here about the issue, but there was no reply back saying what settings seem to work fine with them, and i have tried different settings in the script only to get the same error over and over. need a little help with what to put into there.

Bluehost only allows 40 secs of CPU time within a 60 second window.

Hello,

I suggest you to use "Make delay for X seconds after every Y request" option to insert pause in crawling process and reduce CPU load as a result.

I have the same problem with Bluehost. What setting would you suggest? I have no idea after how many requests the server would need a "break" and worry it will take all day as a 1 second delay is not enough, it will need 20 seconds a least to create that maximum 40 seconds cpu time within 60 seconds time frame, but after how many requests???

Please advise on the delay settings. Trial and error results in my website offline many times and no solution so far.

You could try 2 seconds delay after every 5th request, for instance.

Thanks Admin

This is THE most important setting IMO - each server's CPU can only handle so much and if you have a huge site with many pages to add to the sitemap, PLEASE give your host a break and add the delay... you could cause a system crash or CERTAINLY slow processing down for all other users if you have a virtual server hosting account
I suggest limiting the usage to "Make delay for X seconds after every Y request" where X = 10 and Y = 10 or even X = 5 and Y = 5 - the server will thank you

OK, so it takes longer to crawl your site to add to the sitemap but causing high server load may be a violation of your hosts' TOS & AUP. If you're desperate to make a sitemap, make a coffee or go for a walk whilst it crawls otherwise (if no limitations are set in config.inc.php) you're causing the server load to go way over the top & memory usage is, obviously, high  

Be gentle please? Your server host will thank you
