Readme github.com/automattic/vip-wp-menu-nav-cache-v2 ↗

Function-based wp_nav_menu() output caching plugin for WordPress/VIP-style environments.

Core behavior

  • Caches menu HTML via pre_wp_nav_menu + wp_nav_menu hooks.
  • Uses generation-based invalidation (wpvip_nav_menu_generation) in object cache group wpvip_nav_menu.
  • Defaults to a 1-hour cache TTL (HOUR_IN_SECONDS), filterable with wpvip_nav_menu_cache_ttl.
  • Ships the wpvip_nav_menu_should_cache filter and default callback that disables cache for logged-in users and singular pages.

Additional salvage from Automattic/cache-nav-menus

  • Adds parse_query hook to force cache_results = true for nav_menu_item queries, reducing database pressure on cold paths.

Composer

composer install
