It's a feature I'd love to add in the future. Hi Douglas, sorry there isn’t a way to change the length at the moment. It’s a feature I’d love to add in the future.

The widget displays to long on my website and I was hoping maybe there is a way I can shorten the length of it. Is that possible? BTW... Great Widget! Chris,

It's a straight forward solution to the throttling problem.

Wee, that sucks. I remember when I was using wordpress.com and few of my post wen viral..even for more than 20k hits a day it never slowed down and with bluehost it sucks at just 600 visits a day... I'll give it a try to ultimate-wordpress-caching-method .. I hope it would be helpful. Updating Bluehost to a higher CPU account may solve your issue

Updating Bluehost to a higher CPU account may solve your issue, or alternatively following the Ultimate Caching Method (http://thisismyurl.com/6463/ultimate-wordpress-caching-method/) will do it for sure.

Do you mean using Google somehow as a CDN?. Do you know how I would cache that specifically? ... I do have the "Quick Cache" plugin activated. I noticed that it does seem to slow to a crawl early in the morning (7 to 9 am eastern) so maybe something external to bluehost and my visitors is hitting hard at that time... this is so frustrating, but I hate to jump from the frying pan into the fire with another hosting service that may be even worse Thanks, Ron Hi again Christopher,

In theory this is great but in practice, the result is that multiple users will sign up for notifications, with their reader checking for fresh content several times per day. Let's assume for example that your reader is set to check once an hour and that 1,000 clients subscribe to your website via RSS. That's 24,000 requests a day for your feeds. If you link your site's RSS feed via Facebook or Twitter tools for example, they'll check once ever 15 minutes, for almost a hundred requests a day. Caching has gotten much better since I wrote this post but for clients hosting on Bluehost I still take these precautions.
