Biggest sitemap challenge : Beat the Record !Posted: Fri Jul 18, 2008 3:34 pm    Post subject: Biggest sitemap challenge : Beat the Record !

Hello,

I have always wondered up to how much URL could GYM sitemaps & RSS go in a single sitemap.

I did some local testing with up to 2396 topic urls within a forum (gunzip off) :

Cache generation :
Code:
<!-- URL list generated in  0.26343 s  - 13 sql - 2396 URLs listed -->
<!--  Output started from cache after 0.26768 s - 14 sql -->
<!--  Output from cache ended up after 0.48564 s - 14 sql -->


Output from cache :
Code:
<!-- URL list generated in  0.26343 s  - 13 sql - 2396 URLs listed -->
<!--  Output started from cache after 0.00310 s - 2 sql -->
<!--  Output from cache ended up after 0.14326 s - 2 sql -->


0.268 sec is very good to generate and cache a 515ko file, but 0.003 is very very fast when outputted from the cache.

With the phpBB2 version, I tested up to over 16 000 URLs within a decent time (was not the same computer so comparison does not mean much, but it was generated and cached within less than 10 sec).

So, since obvioulsy I don't have any online forum with a forum containing 50 000 topics (the sitemap standard limit), and considering than I'm too lazy to set up a test forum with 50 000 topics in it, I though it could be a nice thing to start this "Biggest sitemap challenge".
So who will be the first to reach 50 000, the maximum amount of URL the sitemap standard allows.


To participate, just use this simple template bellow to post the url to the sitemap, the biggest sitemap will be displayed in the second post of this thread, just bellow this one :

Code:
[quote][b]Site name :[/b]
[b]URL :[/b]
[b]Date :[/b] mm/dd/yy
[b]Number of urls total :[/b]
[b]Number of topics in the biggest forum :[/b]
[b]Biggest forum URL :[/b]
[b]Biggest sitemap URL :[/b]
[b]Generation time :[/b]
[code] [/code]
[b]Generation time once cached :[/b]
[code] [/code]
[b]Gunzip :[/b][/quote]


The generation time are to be found in the xml source code of the generated sitemap, at the very bottom.

For the phpBB SEO forum, this would be :

Quote:
Site name : phpBB SEO Forum
URL : http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/
Date : 07/18/08
Number of urls total : 296
Number of topics in the biggest forum : 273
Biggest forum URL : http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/advanced-seo-url-vf54/
Biggest sitemap URL : http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/advanced-seo-url-gf54.xml
Generation time :
Code:
<!-- URL list generated in  0.03281 s  - 8 sql - 296 URLs listed -->
<!--  Output started from cache after 0.03339 s -  sql -->
<!--  Output from cache ended up after 0.03378 s -  sql -->

Generation time once cached :
Code:
<!-- URL list generated in  0.03281 s  - 8 sql - 296 URLs listed -->
<!--  Output started from cache after 0.00216 s -  sql -->
<!--  Output from cache ended up after 0.00261 s -  sql -->

Gunzip : off


As you can see everybody will be able to check the results.

So let's play now, and get the most out of GYM 2.0 !

The challenge is as well on in the French forum : The French speaking thread.

Biggest sitemap challenge : Beat the Record !Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2008 3:04 pm    Post subject: Re: Biggest sitemap challenge : Beat the Record !

Here is what one of the French member did, it's currently the biggest on-line example (record updated after update to GYM b2 ~+ 2000 urls) :

Quote:
Site name : Forum lesarnaques.com
URL : http://forum.lesarnaques.com
Date : 07/19/08
Number of urls total : 12188
Number of topics in the biggest forum : 11524
Biggest forum URL : http://forum.lesarnaques.com/articles-livraison-sav/
Biggest sitemap URL : http://forum.lesarnaques.com/articles-non-livres-sav-f2.xml.gz
Generation time :
Code:
 <!-- URL list generated in  5.66450 s ( Mem Usage : 2.8 MB ) - 10 sql - 12188 URLs listed -->

Generation time once cached :
Code:
  <!-- URL list generated in  5.66450 s ( Mem Usage : 2.8 MB ) - 10 sql - 12188 URLs listed -->

Gunzip : on


We cannot have more details in stats while using gunzip, but a little over 5 seconds to generate compress and cache 12188 urls is really good.
Once in cache, the longest is file transfer, which when gunziped is reduced a lot. It is very likely in this case that the most time for displaying the page is taken by the browser to parse the 12188 urls in the xsl style sheet Wink
