MainWP syncs multiple child sites in parallel to speed up the process. The Maximum Simultaneous Sync Requests setting controls how many sites sync at once. Adjusting this value helps balance sync speed against server resources.

​
What You’ll Learn

  • How to change the simultaneous sync limit
  • When to increase or decrease this setting
  • How to optimize for your server

​
When to Adjust This Setting

The default value works well for most installations. Adjust only if you experience performance issues.

​
Change the Sync Request Limit

1

Open Advanced Settings

Go to MainWP > Settings > Advanced Settings.
2

Find the sync setting

Locate Maximum Simultaneous Sync Requests.
3

Adjust the value

Enter your preferred number. Lower values use fewer server resources; higher values sync faster.
4

Save settings

Scroll to the bottom and click Save Settings.
Start with a lower value and increase gradually while monitoring server performance. Watch for timeout errors or slow Dashboard response during syncs.
