Rank Math scanning the attachments?

    Hi,

    I noticed quite a high server load after moving the blog to a new server. Rank Math was already active on the site before – didn’t notice this on the old server but didn’t monitor it too.

    After investigating a bit and switching plugins off and on again I noticed Rank Math being the cause. The queries in MySQL look like scans for images where a search based on the guid of the image is made. The DB load is quite high (CPUs at 100% at a dual core exclusive CPU VPS) and it seems to take hours and days to get finished.

    I posted info from the mysql process log to the sensitive data field on this post.

    I wonder what’s going on here and why Rank Math seems to scan all images. The blog has around 10k images which may by the reason why it takes long but still I wonder what’s going on here.

    I don’t have images included in Sitemaps and also don’t use the missing ALT/Title-Tag Feature.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    I don’t have images included in Sitemaps and also don’t use the missing ALT/Title-Tag Feature.

    Even if you enable these options, it shouldn’t cause any problem. The query to include images in the Sitemap executes only on the Sitemap page and the query scans only the images which exist in the current post in the loop. And Rank Math adds missing alt and title dynamically on the frontend when content is displayed. So that too shouldn’t cause any problem.

    Can you please give us some steps of how you got to know that Rank Math is causing this problem? I couldn’t find any reference of the guid IN in the Rank Math code.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
