Object Cache

@tillkruess @spacedmonkey

GitHub project

• @spacedmonkey: Company that was sponsoring to work on the team has pulled out; as of January 31, will not be sponsored. Will be around but won’t have much time to commit to this project. Focusing on the tickets listed below. These are all around adding/using caches in core functions and will have a large impact, especially for big sites. Hoping to get some across the line before February.

Measurement

N/A

GitHub project

• @flixos90: Server-Timing API launched in Performance Lab yesterday!
  • Received a report of a conflict with W3TC around the object-cache.php file that we’ll investigate. Our approach is to maintain the other file, but maybe their check for whether the file is in place is overly strict.
