Making Akismet Quicker

broadcasted 11 months ago by Ian Tearle

Comment spam just sucks, so using Akismet, you can try and keep the comment spam down. The plugin for Expanse works great, and as Nate intended does actually help reduce spam on your blog. But the latest update to the plugin makes it even better.

Using the latest Akismet class for PHP5 and altering the code even further, by making the HTTP request 1.0 instead of 1.1, the Akismet plugin for expanse is even faster, no lag time, no delay. Just fast comment and contact processing with all the advantages of reducing spam.

You can always change your existing plugin to work faster, by changing the following line:

$http_request = "POST " . $path . " HTTP/1.1\r\n"; with: $http_request = "POST " . $path . " HTTP/1.0\r\n";

Alternatively grab your latest copy here. Its free.
