Description

The Caching addon is designed for those who publish filterable grids, content showcases, and dynamic templates in WP Grid Builder, with storage of queried content in a custom table and facet caching in asynchronous requests. The module reduces repeated queries during AJAX filters, allows excluding specific grids or facets, and helps maintain predictable responses on pages with large volumes of combinations.

Main Features of Caching

  • Asynchronous cache
    Stores content and facets used in AJAX requests from grids.
  • Custom table
    Saves queries in its own structure for reuse in upcoming filters.
  • Per-page cleaning
    Allows clearing cache individually on each published page.
  • Configurable exclusions
    Removes specific grids or facets from the global cache flow.
  • WP-CLI command
    Executes full cleaning, by grid, by template, or by expiration.

Benefits of Caching

  • Faster filters
    Reduces waits in grids with many facet combinations.
  • Less database load
    Decreases repeated queries by reusing already stored results.
  • Invalidation control
    Makes it easier to clear cache when pages, grids, or templates change.
  • More predictable management
    Allows adjusting lifespan and exceptions per page.

Who Is Caching For?

  • Those who already use WP Grid Builder to create filterable listings with many facet combinations.
  • Projects displaying catalogs, directories, portfolios, or dynamic content loaded via AJAX.
  • Teams needing to control cache by page, by grid, and by template without changing the visual structure.

How to Download Caching

Caching is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it under Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the .zip and activate it. The addon requires WP Grid Builder active to display its cache options.

Caching extends WP Grid Builder with a storage layer focused on queries generated by grids, facets, and templates. It also requires caution on pages with conditional content or random sorting, as a single version can be cached and re-presented; therefore, it works best on stable listings, recurring filters, and pages where result predictability is part of the flow.
