 * Hello
    I’m using your great plugin in my website It generate a lot of records
   for every endpoint and it reached up to 5000 record My question is it overloading
   the database for that such many records? or does your plugin store the cached
   version on files instead of database? Thank you

 * Hi [@elwazeery](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elwazeery/)
 * Thank you for using our plugin!
 * We are using the transients API for storing the caches, this means by default
   they are saved to the database. If you however are having troubles because of
   the large amount of data that is being cached you could consider installing object
   caching like Memcached or Redis (see also [https://wp-rocket.me/blog/object-caching-use-wordpress/](https://wp-rocket.me/blog/object-caching-use-wordpress/)).
   When using object caching the caches generated by our plugin will no longer be
   stored in the wp_options table, but in Memcached or Redis.
