WP_Object_Cache
Core class that implements an object cache.
Description Description
The WordPress Object Cache is used to save on trips to the database. The Object Cache stores all of the cache data to memory and makes the cache contents available by using a key, which is used to name and later retrieve the cache contents.
The Object Cache can be replaced by other caching mechanisms by placing files in the wp-content folder which is looked at in wp-settings. If that file exists, then this file will not be included.

The object cache is used for caching the results of expensive SQL queries. So they’re not performed multiple times within a page load. In the below example, imagine the $query variable is an expensive SQL query.
$result = wp_cache_get( 'my_result' ); if ( false === $result ) { $result = $wpdb->get_results( $query ); wp_cache_set( 'my_result', $result ); } // Do something with $result;
