Generaxion

Changing the WordPress site language to any other than English slows down page generation times. A lot. This is caused by the slow and inefficient way of text domain loading. This plugin, based on the excellent work by Björn Ahrens, aims to fix that by loading only the text domains that are used in a page and even more, by caching them. 
PO and MO files are designed to be used with PHP Gettext-extension. But since it\’s an extension, it\’s not installed by default on all hosting platforms. To overcome this barrier, WordPress has re-implemented the whole MO file parsing in PHP completely ignoring the possibility to use native gettext, if available. This WordPress\’ implementation is a bit slow. 
This plugin has another implementation of MO parsing, which is faster than the default one. The plugin also loads only the text domains that are required to generate the current page instead the default behavior of loading every available text domain. As front end pages usually only use strings from few text domains, this leads to a great performance boost in front end. 
To boost the performance even more, the plugin also caches the loaded text domains in to the object cache. For optimal performance you need a fast object cache backend like Redis, Memcached or APC(u).

Do you have excerpts on multiple pages? Do you want to have them at different lengths?
With the Multiple Excerpt Lengths plugin, you can now control the length (in words) of excerpts present at various different templates throughout your WordPress site.
By default, WordPress sets the length of excerpts at 55 words. It is fairly simple to change this length – it only requires you to add a short piece of code to your functions.php file. However, once you add that code, it changes the length of ALL the excerpts present on your site, and you may not want that.
For example, you might want to shorten the length of the excerpts on your Front Page where you have 3 recent blog posts displayed horizontally in columns but you might not want to change the length of the excerpts on your Blog Page (which may be displaying 10 of your recent posts).
With this plugin, you’ll be able to change the length of excerpts present at various different locations throughout your site. By default, the plugin will keep the excerpts at 55 words. If you wish to change the length for a given page/template, you can do so by specifying a number for the appropriate page/template.

Multiple Excerpt Lengths

I've spent a lot of time fiddling with code to change different excerpt lengths for not only myself but my customers and this plugin adds a dead-simple interface to do it. Killer work!



Dead simple, solves a common WordPress problem

Allows you to change the lengths of WordPress excerpts (the_excerpt) that are present at various pages/templates throughout your site.
