How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

    This is invaluable for developing plugins with WP transients. It’s an easy-to-use plugin that does one thing well. It works in WP 6.1.1, although it contains some code deprecated in PHP8.2.

    I needed to catch a floating bug on my site. It became clear that this was somehow related to transient options.The first to turn up this plugin. And I was not wrong. Plugin solves its narrow task and does it excellently. If you need to do anything with transient options in WordPress – this plugin is what you need. Thank you so much for your work!
