Cached average in postmeta?
-
Does this plugin keep a cached rating average in the posts meta field? So instead of needing to run a lookup query, I can just grab it from the post itself?
Can also use it for filtering then.

Hello @bendrop ,
Thank you for your inquiry.
Yes, the plugin stores rating-related data within the post meta, including values that allow you to retrieve aggregated information such as the average rating without requiring additional lookup queries.
Additionally, the system maintains multiple related data points in the database. While this may appear redundant at first glance, it is an intentional design choice to support various functional requirements—such as efficient data retrieval, filtering, sorting, and overall performance optimization across different use cases.
If you have a specific implementation scenario or need guidance on accessing these values, please feel free to share further details. We would be glad to assist.
Best regards,
Mahamudul
