Magi1053946yAre they really using a database cache to store a message for later code execution? At least use the wp object cache instead... - 
				
				
ojrask2836y@Magi1053 transients are written on top of the WP object cache system. The object cache defaults to database storage if I remember correctly. - 
				
				
Magi1053946y@ojrask Object cache isn't persistent. It's just a global variable that stores data in an associative array - 
				
				
ojrask2836y@Magi1053 I see, thanks. Then the transient system has a hook to store to wp_options in case object-cache.php is not present. - 
				
				
Magi1053946y@ojrask transients are always stored in the database. Object cache use to be persistent but that functionality is removed in favor of persistent caching plugins - 
				
				
ojrask2836y@Magi1053 that transient storage logic change is quite recent then, for the past decade I've been storing transients into Redis by adding a proper object-cache.php.
