Cannot Reduce Feed Filesize (NopCommerce RSS)

[josh.cad...@gmail.com]

Here is the link to our RSS feed: http://stahlstv.com/blog/rss/1

Web-sniffer says that the feed is "Content (52.00 KiB)"

I'm not sure how to reduce the size of my blog feed. Appending "?max-results=1" to the end of the URL did not work. It saves, but I still get the filesize error and that appended part gets removed from my URL when navigating back to that page.

Our website is built on NopCommerce, so I'm not sure if they way the RSS feed is set up is causing some issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's incorrect - or rather you're not viewing the correct line from the results: 

HTTP Response Header

,or about 1094 KiB. 

 

Appending "?max-results=1" to the end of the URL did not work.

It couldn't - your blog isn't a Blogger blog, and the support article quite clearly states it's only for Blogger blogs. 

Other CMS platforms have other means. 

In any case, your feed does not even pass feedvalidator. 

Since your Feedburner feed is already summary, couldn't you just provide Feedburner 

with a summary feed to begin, instead of the full content of your (currently) 156 posts ? 

Are using some plugin in NopCommerce to provide the feed ? 

Each plugin would have their own settings to customize the feed, 

so you'd have to ask them or NopCommerce forums for support.

Aside from the size issue this worked properly previously. We are not using a plugin and have not been able to find any settings for controlling this. 

I have posted the question on the NopCommerce boards.

Maybe they can point me in the right direction as far as supplying a summary feed.
