<h3>Performance & Caching (Version 2.2.2 Enhancements)</h3>
<p><strong>Version 2.2.2</strong> includes significant enhancements to the plugin’s existing caching system for optimal performance.</p>
<h3>🚀 Enhanced Caching Architecture</h3>
<p>The improved multi-layer system in <strong>Five Prayer 2.2.2</strong> includes:<br />
* <strong>Optimized In-Memory Caching</strong>: Reduces redundant database calls.<br />
* <strong>Enhanced Fragment Caching</strong>: For shortcodes and blocks.<br />
* <strong>Robust Object Caching</strong>: Leverages WordPress transients with external cache support.</p>
<h3>🔧 Object Cache Compatibility</h3>
<p>The caching system is fully compatible with external object caching:<br />
* <strong>Redis</strong> & <strong>Memcached</strong>: For persistent and distributed caching.<br />
* <strong>APCu</strong>: For opcode caching.<br />
* <strong>How it works</strong>: Prayer data cached via WordPress transients automatically utilizes external object caches (like Redis) if available on your server.</p>
<h3>📊 Performance Improvements</h3>
<p><strong>Enhancements in Version 2.2.2 deliver:</strong><br />
* Further reduction in database queries for prayer data.<br />
* Faster page load times for content with prayer shortcodes.<br />
* Better scalability for high-traffic websites.</p>
<h3>🎯 Cache Durations</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Monthly Timetable</strong>: 30-minute cache (<code>[Fp_TimeTable_Monthly]</code>)</li>
<li><strong>Daily Prayer Times</strong>: 10-minute cache (<code>[Fp_Vertical_Daily_Prayer]</code>)</li>
<li><strong>Single Prayer Blocks</strong>: 10-minute cache</li>
<li><strong>Settings Data</strong>: 1-day cache</li>
<li><strong>Next Prayer</strong>: 1-minute cache (for real-time accuracy)</li>
</ul>
<h3>💡 Cache Management for Administrators</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Automatic Clearing</strong>: The cache is automatically invalidated when you update plugin settings (location, methods, etc.).</li>
<li><strong>Manual Refresh</strong>: To immediately refresh all prayer data, use the <strong>“Generate Calendar”</strong> button in the <strong>Prayer Settings</strong>. This rebuilds the data and clears related caches.</li>
<li><strong>Admin Context</strong>: Caching is bypassed in the WordPress admin area for accurate previews.</li>
</ul>
