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.
