The javascript that opens the frontend page with the purpose of analyzing the content in order to provide keyword suggestions for the new SEO feature... Although being a useful feature, it does have some unwanted side effects. And since it's not quite transparent what is going on, it has caused great misfortune to a few of my colleagues.
The last issue has been take care of now, but regarding unintended side effects, we were wondering whether this feature can be disabled on certain pages? We have a custom module that fetches data from a web service which takes quite some time, and this affects backend too. However, pushing data to a web service in the wrong context could cause somewhat of disaster. For now we've worked our way around by measuring whether an active backend session exists when running the custom thus escaping the custom module processing. But a more standard (transparent) way of handling this would be useful.

Hi Lars
So an option to disable auto meta data suggestions on specific pages - could come in handy in many situations. I've created a backlog item (TFS4968) for 7.2 (or maybe even in a SR).
A workaround is to optimize a page using SEO or SEO Express - that would disable the feature for that page.
Without the module this can be done by adding a record to table "SeoPhrase" by adding a record with the page ID in column SeoPhrasePageId.
See thats a workaround!

I'll try and convince the customer to use SEO in the way you suggest;) But this line:
"A workaround is to optimize a page using SEO or SEO Express - that would disable the feature for that page."
Does that mean that you can disable the built-in feature completely?

Optimizing a page using SEO modules will disable the meta auto suggestion feature for that page. So yes.

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the tip.
