W/ all the recent misleading blog entries on RSS scaling, I thought I'd spend a few moments enumerating the techniques that can be used to better scale your RSS feed.
- Conditional GET
- HTTP Caching
- TTL
- SkipHours and SkipDays
- Syndication Hints
- Partial Content Entries
- Limit <item>s
- Remove redundant elements
- Use HTTP 301 in place of HTTP 302
I'll further post individually on how each technique is used to reduce RSS bandwidth.
