Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

6 to earlier versions.

4 the function wp_prime_option_caches() was introduced to allow for multiple options to be queried in a single database call.

On sites without a persistent cache, temporary transients are stored in two options. One containing the transient itself, the other containing the timeout. These are stored as _transient_[transient name] and _transient_timeout_[transient name].

6 and later, these options are primed by a single database call using the priming function. 5 to backport the functionality.

While a mild improvement on sites making limited use of transients, this can significantly reduce the number of database queries on sites running plugins making heavy use of transients.
