MACROMEDIA CONTRIBUTE 3 - USING AND ADMINISTERING CONTRIBUTE Use Manual page 195

Another reason to disable a site is that Contribute may run slowly when many sites are defined
because it must maintain multiple network connections over an extended period. To alleviate
such performance problems, you can disable sites that you don't frequently need to update or
disable all site connections and enable them only when you need to edit the site.
Disabling a website connection works the same for websites managed by CPS as it does for non-
managed websites. Disabling a connection affects only your connection to the website.
Tip: For a CPS managed website, you can disable the connection for every user connected to that
website. For example, suppose you need to move the server running CPS. Then you can disable CPS
for that connection and users will not be able to connect. For more information, see
for a website" on page
