Session:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Speed Up Your Site Using Transient API for Caching”<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

With a simple change to your template, you can dramatically reduce the load on your database and still have a dynamic site.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
