Today a standard becomes 9 years old. But hardly ever noticed: The Syndication-Module 1.4.1 of RDF Site Summary 1.0.
What is it good for?
Apparently some of you publishing posts less than 10 times per day. Shame on you … not!
WordPress, however, assumes that you can not even stop, so write it in the RSS feed:
hourly
1
In plain English: Every feed reader should check once an hour, if you finally wrote something again.
Anyone who wants to relieve his server from such a thing, can change that. In the functions.php you write this two lines:
add_filter( 'rss_update_period', create_function( '', 'return "daily";' ) );
add_filter( 'rss_update_frequency', create_function( '', 'return 4;' ) );
A few feed reader keep it by that but other don’t. But even if there is only one: You’ve saved a few resources that you can use somewhere else.
