 * I have nearly 10,000 posts published and growing daily. How can I make sure this
   plugin searches all posts for related posts without timing out or having other
   timing issues? What settings can I change to make sure it doesn’t reach a certain
   number of posts it goes through before finding related posts without being held
   back by hardware or software settings?
 * Sorry if that’s an ignorant question. I’m not knowledgeable of how it works.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi burlyqlady
 * We’ve discussed this here before here I think:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-percentagenumber-of-related-terms-in-common/page/2?replies=40&view=all#post-7108617](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-percentagenumber-of-related-terms-in-common/page/2?replies=40&view=all#post-7108617)
 * Normally you would cache a large site to make it faster and less resource intensive.
   Even with a cache, when you’re site gets bigger and bigger you’ll eventually 
   need to add extra resources.
 * The problem with your situation is that you can’t cache the related posts as 
   the percentage has to be calculated before display. There are no settings in 
   this plugin to remedy this situation.

 * But how does this effect the accuracy of related posts?
