<p>This plugin cleans every transient from database older than one minute using safe native WordPress function. It works on multisite too.</p>
<p>By default, it will check for expired transients once daily, though you can call it any time using <code>Clean_Expired_Transients::clean();</code>.</p>
<p>Clean Expired Transients is a very lightweight, it has no settings, just activate it and it works immediately.</p>
<p>Note that it can be used by developers in their project in any place, it doesn’t require activation and it’s safe to use since it checks is there existing installation, just include it.</p>
<p>And it’s on <a href="https://github.com/dimadin/clean-expired-transients" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>.</p>


Clean Expired Transients

Safest and simplest transients garbage collector.

<p>Gambit Cache Menus caches the menus that you use in your front end. This may not be much (an estimate of 18 milliseconds per menu), but if you have large multilevel menus, and a lot of site visitors, then the speed savings may bring a lot of benefits.</p>
<p>Just install and activate the plugin, there are no settings page.</p>
<p>A menu rendered normally takes around 0.02 seconds; activating this plugin reduces this step to 0.002 seconds.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Shaves off 18ms per menu</li>
<li>Uses the Transient API</li>
<li>Lightweight</li>
<li>Cleanly coded plugin</li>
</ul>
<h4>How Does it Work</h4>
<p>It’s all about the Transient API. When a menu is rendered in the front end, the rendered menu is saved as a transient for caching. Future menu renderings use this cached copy afterwards. When the menu is updated, or when menu locations are changed, the transient is forcibly expired to make way for the updated menu.</p>
<h4>This Is Also a Tutorial</h4>
<p>Transients are cool. If you’re not familiar with them then we documented the code well so that you can check it out.</p>
<p>There should be a companion tutorial about Transients soon.</p>
