Load, page speed times and crawl page times are even worse while the cache is being built, all these stats are from a fully cached translation database, so being pulled from mysql, no writing. Broken links includes the breadcrumbs linking to pages that don exist, clone/duplicate pages being generated with bizarre query strings as urls. Similar threads disappearing and being posted in the post content instead of the actuall post text, all sorts. Also, when checking many thousands of pages in the cache of google and bing finding pages being cut off, so only being indexed upto post 5 of a 20 post thread, footers missing, all sorts. This is because the bots dont crawl like a browser and the bots generate pages with errors, the issue is if the bot is first to the page, it is translated wrong and then every user that accesses it sees the bad generation from cache. I could go on, basically for any serious SEO it is a wild goose, you have no way of controlling it, it messes with too much. I like control, without this mod my site code is 100% perfect, with it im constantly chasing bugs. IMO those that havent seen these serious SEO bugs are thos that have not properly searched for them or dont know how to spot them, no offence. They are not always obvious. Seriously uninstall for just a few days and check all your stats, you'd be amazed. I'd been running it so long i thought these high figures were normal. I tried vbo, CDN, new servers everything and all it took was to remove this to get all the metrics reporting desirable results.
