[Chapter-delegates] Performance problems on your web-site when syndicating www.internetsociety.org/headlines/rss

[Klaus Birkenbihl]

Hi all,

in general I mostly stopped complaining about the poor
technical quality of http://www.internetsociety.org because
these complains don't generate any effect or response
(ref http://klaus-birkenbihl.de/isoc-website-issues.html).
But since this error (obviously existing for some time
now) might effect your websites too here an alert.

I figured out that https://www.isoc.de/ had some performance
problems. When diving into it I noticed that the
syndication of www.internetsociety.org/headlines/rss
feed did not work. So I stopped syndication of this
feed and everything ran like charme.

Today I took a short look at the rss file and figured out
a simple reason. www.internetsociety.org/headlines/rss
is not well formed XML. (Is this the reason why clicking
"Video: RSS in plain English" on
http://www.internetsociety.org/rss only shows "Embedding
disabled by request?" Is this rather a feature than
a bug? ;) )

Summary: eliminating the syndication of
www.internetsociety.org/headlines/rss (it doen't work
anyhow) can significantly improve the speed of your Website.

Best, Klaus
