Note: it's a fork of https://github.com/pressjitsu/pomodoro/, initially.
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.
Seems like that. It's better to measure for every certain site separately.
Example on a vanilla ru_RU locale WordPress site:
Before:
After:
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).
# print stats about cache directory and files
# to see more raw data use --format parameter
wp pomodoro stats
wp pomodoro stats --format=print_r
wp pomodoro stats --format=var_dump
wp pomodoro stats --format=json
wp pomodoro stats --format=json --pretty
# list cached files
wp pomodoro list
# prune cached files
# note: remember that the removed files can be recreated immediately
# by other requests or CLI-commands done after the moment of removing.
wp pomodoro prune
# prune cached files for a specific textdomain
# note: all cached files for that textdomain will be removed
wp pomodoro prune <textdomain>
# lint cached files
wp pomodoro lint
# print the plugin version
wp pomodoro versionIf necessary, define POMODORO_DONT_UPDATE constant with true (boolean) value
to disable updating of cached files during a current request.
It's used inside wp pomodoro prune command.
