Cache Nav Menus

Improves nav menu queries and provides a replacement for core's wp_nav_menu() that make nav menus more performant.

This plugin improves the performance of navigation menus within WordPress via two methods.

First, it intercepts the nav menu queries and ensures they are cached by WP_Query.

Secondly, it provides a replacement for wp_nav_menu() that wraps the core function, caching the output efficiently to reduce the number of queries performed on a site.
