APC Object Cache Backend

APC Object Cache provides a persistent memory-based backend for the WordPress object cache. APC must be available on your PHP install. An object cache is a place for WordPress and WordPress extensions to store the results of complex operations. On subsequent loads, this data can be fetched from the cache, which will be must faster than dynamically generating it on every page load. The APC Object Cache backend is also compatible with Batcache, the powerful full page caching engine that runs on WordPress.com Be sure to read the installation instructions, as this is not a traditional plugin, and needs to be installed in a specific location.

Encute

Encute provides a fluent, declarative API for site owners to manipulate the scripts and styles that WordPress, themes, and plugins shove onto their site. Move things into the footer, defer loading, remove assets entirely. Or load scripts async, or as modules, or as nomodule! Here’s an example of how you could use the plugin: is_page('contact'); Script::get('contact-form-7')->keepIf($isContactPage)->footer()->defer(); Style::get('contact-form-7')->keepIf($isContactPage)->footer()->defer(); Style::get(['mediaelement', 'wp-mediaelement'])->footer()->defer(); Style::get('material-icons')->defer(); Script::get('jquery')->remove(); }); Wrapper Always run code in this wrapper: add_action(\CWS\Encute\Plugin::class, function (\CWS\Encute\Plugin $encute) { // Your code here. }); This wrapper will be a no-op if Encute is not available, and it will both wait for Encute to be available to run, and pass you Encute’s main class instance. Fluency Both Script::get() and Style::get() return an instance of themselves, as do all calls to their methods, so you can just chain your calls. Script static CWS\Encute\Script::get(string $handle): CWS\Encute\Script — get a Script instance for that handle. CWS\Encute\Script::module(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script a module. CWS\Encute\Script::noModule(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script nomodule. CWS\Encute\Script::footer(): CWS\Encute\Script — send the script to the footer (along with its entire dependency family). CWS\Encute\Script::async(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script async. CWS\Encute\Script::defer(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script defer. CWS\Encute\Script::remove(): CWS\Encute\Script — remove the script. CWS\Encute\Script::removeIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Script — remove the script if the callback resolves as true. CWS\Encute\Script::keepIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Script — keep the script if the callback resolves as true (else remove it). Style static CWS\Encute\Style::get(string $handle): CWS\Encute\Style — get a Style instance for that handle. CWS\Encute\Style::footer(): CWS\Encute\Style — send the style to the footer (along with its entire dependency family). CWS\Encute\Style::defer(): CWS\Encute\Style — defer the style’s loading. CWS\Encute\Style::remove(): CWS\Encute\Style — remove the style. CWS\Encute\Style::removeIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Style — remove the style if the callback resolves as true. CWS\Encute\Style::keepIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Style — keep the style if the callback resolves as true (else remove it).
