This is a utility plugin for backporting a minor performance improvement scheduled for inclusion in WordPress 6.6 to earlier versions.
In WordPress 6.4 the function <code>wp_prime_option_caches()</code> was introduced to allow for multiple options to be queried in a single database call.
On sites without a persistent cache, temporary transients are stored in two options. One containing the transient itself, the other containing the timeout. These are stored as <code>_transient_[transient name]</code> and <code>_transient_timeout_[transient name]</code>.
In WordPress 6.6 and later, these options are primed by a single database call using the priming function. This plugin can be used on WordPress 6.4 and 6.5 to backport the functionality.
While a mild improvement on sites making limited use of transients, this can significantly reduce the number of database queries on sites running plugins making heavy use of transients.

Performant Transients

Reduce the number of database calls querying transients.

Debug Bar Transients adds information about WordPress Transients to a new panel in the Debug Bar. This plugin is an extension for <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/debug-bar/" rel="ugc">Debug Bar</a> and thus is dependent upon Debug Bar being installed for it to work properly.
Once installed, you will have access to the following information:
<ul>
<li>Number of existing transients</li>
<li>List of custom transients</li>
<li>List of core transients</li>
<li>List of custom site transients</li>
<li>List of core site transients</li>
<li>An option to delete a transient</li>
</ul>
Sounds pretty good? Install now!
This plugin is inspired by the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/debug-bar-cron/" rel="ugc">Debug Bar Cron</a> plugin.
