Not necessarily, if the title isn't included in the URL it doesn't change.

I'm not sure what this means or when this happens? Any time I change a title, the URL changes with it on my board. Everyone is using friendly URLs now.

True. But 301 redirect is being auto created and it fixes the problem.

No.

Installed and ran on a forum with 76K threads and I didn't notice a performance issue.

I think we definitely need a forum exclusion list and sorting options (by date, replies, views). Dashboard could use some stats. Otherwise, great start, very interested!

That's cool! Thanks for good news!
The "Duplicated thread Titles opens as fast as any other xF page?

yeah, but I only end up having a few hundred, not sure if that matters, if a table scan is made each time

Actually limit set to 100

Oops. Yeah, on my forum too. I was fixing duplicates on my forum, so didn't work with those 2. Probably broke it when were fixing routs. Will fix it asap.

 

[Anatoliy]

No.

Don't be too grumpy.)
He means almost everyone.

 

[Anatoliy]

Well, it's way too early to analyze results, but I like what I see so far.

 

[Anatoliy]

great start

That's @Kirby & @briansol.

Are min 20 and max 70 the best settings? When should I go below 20 and go above 70?

Nobody knows that. ) That's what ahrefs says:


When ahrefs scans my forum, it marks pages with title length > 70 as errors.


The minimum option (20) doesn't change anything but the total in a list. For fixing all thread titles that an admin considers as too short. (Yeah, right. Like I can manually fix those 6k short titles that I have ).

That is possibly encouraging. Do you know if the increase is attributable to your title changes, or could it be something else, such as a seasonal traffic increase perhaps?

I don't know. Actually I didn't change many titles manually. not more than 100-200 out of 17k. but the add-on's template modification "fixed" around 1000 by automatically dropping "| Board title" from page titles, that are > 70. I think that is the reason. As a confirmation of this my theory is an average position change from about 30 to about 20. I guess it can't be caused by seasonal interest to a topic change.

I'm going to change Max limit from 70 to 50 on my forum and we'll see what happens. )
