01 The Challenge

For sites displaying frequently viewed static content like a services grid, constant database queries create unnecessary load and slow down pages. The requirement was a modular system that allowed non-technical users to manage custom content while guaranteeing the highest possible front-end speed.

02 The Solution

Engineered a modular plugin utilising a custom post type for data management and a dedicated Transient Caching mechanism for the front-end output. The cache is precisely managed — it lasts 12 hours but is automatically cleared immediately upon any service update, ensuring data integrity while achieving near-instant load times.

03 Impact & Results

Reduced page generation time for the services section by over 95% on subsequent visits. Eliminates repetitive database queries for static content, freeing up resources for dynamic content such as checkout. Custom dashboard page with a manual button to clear the cache instantly.
