Widget Output Cache

by Kaspars

4.9
(7 ratings)

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.

Note that the plugin supports only Classic Widgets — the caching does not apply to widgets rendered in the block-based editor.
