Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

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/pressjitsu/pomodoro/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

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:

Before:

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).
