# Update services and post.php?

 * Each time I make a new post it takes awhile (10 sec or so) to actually post and
   when it finally does I’m presented with a download option for post.php.
 * I checked my server and I don’t have a post.php. I’m thinking this has something
   to do with my list of update services. Is it possible to have too many update
   services? Should I have a post.php file?
 * Sorry for the newbie questions but your help is appreciated.

 * A lot of update services, especially if any are slow or not responding, will 
   definitely cause the problem you’ve observed.
 * Quick test: Remove them and make a test post. Any faster without ’em all?
 * There’s a plugin called (I think) “NoPingWait”. Might be worth searching for 
   and trying. It does the pinging in the background so you don’t have to wait for
   all the update services to respond.

 * Oh, and post.php should be found under the wp-admin directory.

 * HandySolo,
 *  Thanks for the help… I removed them all and it is much faster. I took some time
   and added a few at a time to see which ones were hanging me up… I have narrowed
   it down to the following that I’m using:
 * [http://api.feedster.com/ping](http://api.feedster.com/ping)
    [http://api.feedster.com/ping.php](http://api.feedster.com/ping.php)
   [http://api.moreover.com/ping](http://api.moreover.com/ping) [http://api.moreover.com/RPC2](http://api.moreover.com/RPC2)

 * Should I still look for more or remove some of these? I’m assuming the more services
   that ping the better your blog is picked-up… any truth to that?

 * As long as you’re not notifying the same services repeatedly, I’m sure you’re
   fine.
 * pingomatic.com ings icerocket.com, so you might consider dropping the icerocket.
   com one.
