If you use BlogRolling.com to maintain your blogroll as I do, you’ve probably noticed there are times when it takes their site quite a while before responding to the code you’ve inserted into your page… sometimes, stopping your pages to load altogether :(.

Well, I’ve searched high and low and finally found a quick and simple script to cut your page load time - no matter how huge your blogroll is.

Here’s how it works:

• A cache of your blogroll is created and stored on your server. (From what I understand, the information stored in here is what is published on your page. So, whenever your page loads, it doesn’t have to directly communicate with BlogRolling.com, but pulls the info from this cache.)

• The script downloads data from the blogrolling.com servers and overwrite the cache with the updated info.
• If the data downloaded isn’t valid (server down, or sent back an error), the cache is not overwritten, your blogroll will remain unchanged, and your page load does not suffer!

Unless you’re planning to manually load the script every few minutes/hours, you’ll need to be able to run php cron, so check with your web host provider.
