SEZWHO Made Your Blog Load Slow?
Posted by Dollar Dude on July 21st, 2008
Have you installed SEZWHO in your blog? Some of my fella bloggers signed up with SEZWHO to get useful traffic from entrecard.com because SEZWHO teamed up with Entrecard to reduce the bounce rate as well as to increase the comments for your blog.
If you have uploaded the SEZWHO in your blog, it will load once it times out trying to download the Sezwho CSS file. I have checked my browser status bar and it says- “connecting to Sezwho.com”. This happened when Sezwho was under DDOS attack.
To permanently fix this issue, you have to cache your sezwho .CSS file locally:
1.edit wp-content/plugins/sezwho/cpratecomments.php
2.Comment out line: echo “<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’szProfAndEmbedStyleSheet’ href=’$cpserverurl/widgets/profile/css_output/$platform/$theme_name/$version/$jstagname/$site_key/$blog_key.css’ type=’text/css’ media=’screen’ />\n”; (you have to do this in two places with the latest 2.6 version.)
3.Add the following line to your wp header.php file: <link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’szProfAndEmbedStyleSheet’ href=’LOCALFILEPATH’ type=’text/css’ media=’screen’ />
4. Upload a copy of your sezwho CSS file to where you pointed in “Localfilepath”.
When sezwho is functioning properly, this procedure will help your blog to get connected in no time. Even when Sezwho is down, you can see your comments ratings as well as icons without any page slow down. Happy commenting!!!

Do you really think SezWho widget will increase visitors willingness to post comments?
After I’ve seen what it does with many already widget-heavy sites and tried it on one of my own - I removed it without hesitation.
What guaranteed to increase amount of comments is “NoFollow-free” and “Top Commentators” plugins - people will be happy to exchange a comment for a backlink, even if it’s just for a few days…

Same with me. If your blog already full with banner. My advice, never use seozwho.
