 * I’m using WP Super Cache with Autoptimize – everything working great
 * I’m generating posts from an RSS feed and have shortcode that adds additional
   content.
 * I’m trying to figure out how not to trigger the shortcodes everytime the page
   loads.
 * I know this isn’t exactly a straightline plugin question – but figured might 
   have some ideas here. thanks

 * well, you _could_ do that by [getting/setting transients](https://codex.wordpress.org/Transients_API)
   inside the code that gets triggered by the shortcodes?

 * thanks Frank – I have received a similar suggestion but the debate seemed to 
   favor that transients are somewhat unreliable for something like this – it is
   also a couple steps outside my grasp of figuring out how to do something like
   that.

 * well, the downside of transients is that they’re … transient; you never know 
   for sure if they will be in cache and if not you’ll have to regenerate. the good
   thing however is that transients are an integral part of wordpress core and that
   it’s pretty easy to get and set them. but you would indeed need some development
   skills to implement this. but you could ask the developers of the plugins/ theme
   to add transient caching?
