Does this plugin support any type of caching and expiry? Assuming this polls your API each request to get the current weather. It would be good if there was some caching for high traffic sites. https://wordpress.org/plugins/australian-weather-widget-willyweather/ Hi there, Our CDN caches the weather data, so it isn’t polling our API every request. Thanks, WillyWeather Support Would it be possible to cache a local copy via a cron job that runs say every minute, and then request this data internally via the plugin? I’m looking to use your plugin on a fairly large web site (60,000 hits per month), however they have an SSL.. which is likely to generate warning messages. Are there any work out you could foresee to this problem from a technical perspective? i.e. Reverse proxy solution. Hi again, sorry for the delay. The entire plugin is delivered through our CDN, and unfortunately we can’t provide an SSL cert. through our CDN for financial reasons. Thanks, WillyWeather Support
