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.

<a href="https://wp-healthcheck.com" rel="nofollow ugc">WP Healthcheck</a> is a plugin to check the health of your WordPress install.
It detects some useful information regarding your site health, like the number of active transients and autoload options, and then displays them conveniently via the WordPress Dashboard.
This plugin can help you improve your site performance by cleaning up the transients and deactivating autoload options.
WP Healthcheck also verifies the software versions in use by your server. We maintain information about software minimum requirements up to date in our systems. This allows the plugin to retrieve this information from our external API and compare versus the ones installed in your server.
SSL certificate expiration dates are also checked and notifications for expired or near expiration SSL certificates are provided conveniently via the WordPress Dashboard.
<h4>WP-CLI Extension</h4>
WP Healthcheck also includes a WP-CLI extension. If you want to see all the CLI commands available in the plugin, go ahead and run <code>wp healthcheck</code> in your site.
<ul>
<li><code>wp healthcheck autoload [--deactivate=<option-name>] [--history]</code></li>
<li><code>wp healthcheck transient [--delete-expired] [--delete-all]</code></li>
<li><code>wp healthcheck server</code></li>
<li><code>wp healthcheck ssl</code></li>
</ul>
