Is this ok or should I just store it in an array form so I can just directly access it without using json_decode? In your case store it directly means store it serialized. Because $data is an array and cannot be stored as is, but converted to a string. Even if you access it directly … Read more
There is no option to do this in the plugin. It is suggested to run page cache garbage collection more frequently on high traffic sites. I expect this would keep the size of cache on disk to a reasonable amount.
There is a cache plugin for WP Rest API with the name… WP Rest API Cache: I’ve used it for small projects and helped me a lot.
It’s a great question, and one I’ve been a little confused by as well. The conclusion I’ve drawn is, it’s expensive to leave cache files for two reasons: If your site (or sites, in the case of a multisite installation) has/have a lot of pages, you can easily end up with thousands of cache files, … Read more

The first thing you want to do is some research in the Codex and the “WP HTTP API”. The right/WP way to grab … Read more
Today I run a test over my db to explore the speed difference between accessing a key from options, custom table & transients. I ran the test for 1000 times and following is the time taken to run 1000 get operations: Keep in mind that the options table is used for both options and transients … Read more
Souljacker, I would first take a look at your plugins. Star Ratings for Reviews hasn’t been updated for over 3 years and looks like its real heavy on the db. I saw some raw sql with some INNER JOINS that look troublesome. On the server side you should implement some object caching. APC is the … Read more
