Advanced Nav Cache
==================

[](#advanced-nav-cache)

Cache wp\_nav\_menu output in object cache. This is a simple "dropin" style plugin with no settings panel. Best used as an mu-plugin. Once in place, it caches all menus on the page, wherever they are called.

This plugin is based on the ideas found in [Advanced Post Caching](https://github.com/Automattic/advanced-post-cache) plugin by [Automattic](http://automattic.com/).

If you wish to follow the development of this plugin, view the code on the official plugin [website](http://www.spacedmonkey.com/ "website") or follow me on twitter [@thespacedmonkey](https://twitter.com/thespacedmonkey)
