Description
Use PHP output buffering to extract widget output and store it into WordPress transients for faster retrieval. It also adds a checkbox to widget controls to exclude it from being cached.
It is a quick fix for bad behaving plugins that parse RSS feeds or call remote URLs on every page load.
Installation
Install it from the official WordPress repository or use the plugin search in your WordPress dashboard.
