Lightweight Term Count Update
Makes term count updates less painful
★ 34stars
Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/automattic/lightweight-term-count-update/archive/refs/heads/master.zipNo built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
This plugin prevents WordPress from running term count queries.
Rather, it will instead perform a simple increment/decrement on the post count that does not require a recalculation.
