Transients Manager

I've had a number of times when one of my sites was getting bogged down because of transient issues. Transients Manager helped me investigate, identify the problem so I could fix it, and clear out the mess.

Saved the day more than once

Every time I code something involving transients, this plugin is an indispensable tool. Thank you.

Such a wonderful tool when working with transients!

I needed to catch a floating bug on my site. It became clear that this was somehow related to transient options.The first to turn up this plugin. And I was not wrong. Plugin solves its narrow task and does it excellently. If you need to do anything with transient options in WordPress - this plugin is what you need.
Thank you so much for your work!

Very convenient and intuitive tool!

I find this plugin very useful when testing to search and delete specific transients
