Widget Output Cache

Contributors: kasparsd

Requires at least: 3.0.1
Tested up to: 4.5.2
Stable tag: trunk
License: GPLv2 or later

Improve website performance by caching widget output in WordPress transients.

Description

Use PHP output buffering to extract widget output and store it into WordPress transients for faster retrieval. It also adds a checkbox to widget controls to exclude it from being cached.

It is a quick fix for bad behaving plugins that parse RSS feeds or call remote URLs on every page load.

Installation

Install it from the official WordPress repository or use the plugin search in your WordPress dashboard.
