Now here’s a session and Speaker addition to WordCamp Raleigh that you won’t want to miss … Andrew Gray, is a partner at TayloeGray, a Wilmington, NC based Marketing and eBusiness Consulting firm.

Session:

“Speed Up Your Site Using Transient API for Caching”

Transient API is a great way to cache sidebar items and other fragments (HTML sections) of your site that don’t need to be created on every page load.

With a simple change to your template, you can dramatically reduce the load on your database and still have a dynamic site.

The presentation will include a basic overview of the transient API and how to use it in your template. Examples will include caching the tag cloud, most commented posts, and other side bar items.
