How Can I Optimize the Processing Speed of LinkFixer
Advanced?
Modified on: Tue, 10 Mar, 2026 at 1:02 PM
The processing performance of LinkFixer Advanced can vary
depending on the computing environment in which it is run. The following
recommendations can help ensure the software operates as efficiently as
possible.
Ensure that the Windows system running LinkFixer Advanced has virtual memory
configured with a minimum of 4 GB.
2. Use a multi-core processor
Install LinkFixer Advanced on a machine with a multi-core processor. The
software automatically uses multi-processing and will distribute work across
available CPU cores to improve processing speed.
3. Use Microsoft SQL Server instead of SQLite
LinkFixer Advanced includes SQLite as the default database. For better
performance—especially in larger environments—configure LinkFixer Advanced to
use a Microsoft SQL Server database instead.
4. Run LinkFixer Advanced on the file server
For the best performance, install and run LinkFixer Advanced directly on the Windows
server where the files are stored. This allows the application to access files
locally rather than over the network, which significantly improves processing
speed.
5. Use targeted file filters
Define a parent file filter to include only the file types that need to be
processed. For example:
- Use *.doc;*.xls
if you only need to process Word and Excel files
- Avoid
broad filters like *.*, which will process all supported file types and
increase processing time
6. Limit other running applications
If possible, avoid running other applications while LinkFixer Advanced is
processing files. Although the software can run alongside other programs,
additional applications consume system resources and may slow overall
processing.
7. Disable SharePoint Content Approval during processing
If you are working with SharePoint, disable Content Approval before running
LinkFixer Advanced, and re-enable it after processing is complete. This can
help improve processing efficiency.
