 * Hi Jaboli,
 * We do not use transients or any other explicit caching. We leave all caching 
   decisions to object caching and full page caching plugins. If you need your pages
   to be fast while keeping all the content “fresh”, object caching is your best
   friend.

 * so your plugin use object caching?!i have a news website [http://akhbartop.com/](http://akhbartop.com/)
   as you can see in my main page website i have man box that display different 
   category’s posts by the same widget that i coded myself but it does not cache
   old posts and does not update new post by the way when someone refresh main page
   all posts reload from database and this cause slow loading of my website.
    does
   your plugin check this issue or not?!

 * > so your plugin use object caching?
 * Indirectly. All (or at least most) results of DB queries done by wordpress are“
   automatically” stored in object cache if one is available.
 * Again, if you want your site to be both fast and display information in “real
   time”, you need in general to have an object cache working. We do not try to 
   add additional caching layer, as this has a cost of its own.
