1.0.3
- Critical fix: replaced get_the_excerpt() with direct post_excerpt/post_content reading to prevent the_content filter chain firing on every related post item — the root cause of page load blocking.
- Fix: post meta cache re-enabled so has_post_thumbnail() and get_the_post_thumbnail() do not fire individual DB queries per post.
- Fix: post_content_cache now built for both read_time and excerpt, not just read_time.
1.0.2
- Performance fix: plugin no longer runs an unrestricted WP_Query when a post has no category/tag assigned, which caused slowdowns on large sites.
- Performance fix: added update_post_meta_cache and update_post_term_cache=false to avoid unnecessary DB queries.
- Performance fix: permalink now cached per post item instead of fetched twice.
1.0.1
- Fixed Load More «has_more» logic that caused the button to never hide.
- Security: validate post status and password protection in AJAX handler.
- Performance: PHP shuffle pool fetch avoids ORDER BY RAND() full table scan.
- Performance: post content cache avoids N+1 DB queries for read-time calculation.
- Security: post types validated against registered public types on every request.
