What does Easy Object Cache do?
Easy Object Cache generates the drop-in plugin object-cache.php
in your wp-content
folder based on your configuration, providing APCu functionality if not available on your server. This simple and efficient plugin can free up your database by moving the transient storage to a shared memory or disk file.
What is a Drop-in Plugin?
Drop-in plugins are PHP files of specified names that you place in your wp-content
folder to modify the behavior of WordPress. The file object-cache.php
is one such drop-in plugin, designed to provide an alternate management of transients.
What are transients?
WordPress uses temporary data that can persist over a single session or multiple sessions under the name transients. By default, transients are stored in your database in the wp_options
table, using a mechanism similar to the options management. This transients management can lead to database bloat and minor performance hits.
