Readme

WordPress Translation Cache

The WordPress gettext implementation is very slow. It uses objects that cannot be cached into memory without reinstanting them.

pomodoro stores all seen translations as a PHP hashtable (array), that can be subsequently stored into a file as PHP code and levereged via OPcache when loaded.

Moreover, pomodoro does lazyloading for strings that are only encountered in output. It does not preload everything it can for a domain until there's no other choice.

But does it really work?

We think so :)

Example on a vanilla ru_RU locale WordPress site:

After:

Installation

Drop pomodoro.php into wp-content/mu-plugins and enjoy the added speed :)

The more plugins you have the better the performance gains.

You can use POMODORO_CACHE_DIR constant to change cache directory (needs full path).
