 * Hello,
 * In my website I have 40k+ posts. I want to use the plugin, but it just spikes
   the CPU load: [https://prnt.sc/3kkXpecEwseY](https://prnt.sc/3kkXpecEwseY)
 * Any way to prevent it?

 * Hi [@pankajjangir](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pankajjangir/),
 * With 40k+ posts, a few settings can cause serious CPU spikes — here’s what to
   avoid:
    - **Don’t use “Purge whole cache on post edit”** — this nukes the entire cache
      on every single save, which is very expensive at scale. Make sure you’re using
      the smart purge (related URLs only) instead.
    - **Don’t enable “Start preloader when cache is purged”** — the preloader will
      try to re-crawl pages after every purge, adding a flood of HTTP requests on
      top of the save event.
    - **Don’t disable the purge queue** — the queue batches purge requests through
      a background cron job instead of running them synchronously during the post
      save. Make sure it’s active (it is by default, so just don’t explicitly disable
      it).
    - **Don’t enable fallback cache if you don’t need it** — the disk-based fallback
      cache adds extra file I/O on every request, which compounds quickly on a large
      site.
