Related Post Plugins

Bad news, the Related Posts plugin I have installed and used here in this blog has to be deactivated and deleted. That’s what my hosting provider asked me to do. They said:

Please be informed that one of wordpress plugin (Related Post) in fatihsyuhud.com account has caused server high load, this can cause disturbance to the particular server. We hope your cooperation to deactivate and delete the plugin within three days.

In another word if I don’t deactivate it, my account may be suspended. So, you won’t see the Related Post again below any posting from today on.

While deactivating the plugins, I also asked my webhosting provider if they know any good related post plugin which is not consuming much to the server–something like Related Post using ajax? They said in negative.

Anyone have an idea where to find a light Related Post plugin? Oh btw, I used Related Post 2.0 by Wasabi and Mike Lu

Last but not least, the server high load occurs when your traffic is high. So, it’s ok to use the plugin if you haven’t reach a certain amount of traffic that will cause the server high load. You’ll know it when it comes.

From now on, until I find a light “Related Post” plugin, I will use Feedjit Recommended Reading in place of Related Post 2.0 plugin. It’s better than not at all.
