Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
We use the default values for the autoload and we don’t recommend changing those as some functionality might not work as expected.
If you would like to change this, please keep this in mind this suggestion and do it at your own descretion.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
Hello,
autoload=”yes” is only needed in case you need to load those data at every request, but if you already get them through a specific php function, you don’t need to load them in the autoload, it would just be a double and redundant loading, that’s why I was asking you directly if you could give me more specifics.
On my staging site, setting the rewrite to “no” continues to work, but not knowing how the plugin was developed, I don’t trust it to make the switch and that’s it, you should know more.
can’t you give me more information?
Hello,
As we stated previously, we don’t recommend changing the default functionality of the plugin and that includes directly changing entries in the database.
Our developers are constantly looking for ways to improve the source code and performance is something we take very seriously, so if this is something that starts showing signs of degrading performance we’ll look into it and see about the possibility of making changes to some of those entries.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
OK that’s clear, but couldn’t you ask the developers directly if the default autoload to yes is necessary?
They will be able to tell you right away if that option needs autoload=”yes” or they call rewrite_rules with specific functions and it can also be set to autoload=”no”.
It is often the case that “yes” is left only because of carelessness and not because it is really necessary.
Hello,
I have shared this with our developer for a further explanation and we should get back to you shortly with some advice.
We appreciate your time and patience on this one. Thank you.
