Generaxion

<p>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.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
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).</p>

<p>Quick Query is a snappy interface for WP_Query that makes querying with WordPress straightforward and concise. It’s built on top of WP_Query (with a few exceptions), and provides a much more flexible and accomodating interface for querying posts.</p>
<p>Learn more about Quick Query and see code examples <a href="https://github.com/pkarl/quick-query" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</p>
<h3>Quick Query is under heavy development!</h3>
<p>I’m writing code + testing as fast as I can to get us to a good minimum set of functionality.</p>

<h3>The Future!</h3>
<p>Besides adding interfaces for the most common querying tasks (posts, tags, authors, sorting, etc.), I’d like to build in sensitivity to ACF fields/data and possibly a caching interface.</p>
<p>Before that can happen, there are lots of tests to be written and plenty of design decisions to be made (and, of course, documentation!).</p>
<h3>Who’s this for?</h3>
<p>This is certainly geared more toward developers than designers and hobbyists. That said, It does return WP_Post objects, so all/most of the functionality you’re used to may be there.</p>
