How it works
You create streams in Flow-Flow admin and copy generated shortcodes. Then you put these shortcodes in any block on any page of your site. Plugin has special compact mode for narrow blocks like sidebar. When stream is shown first time, it’s got cached and rest of visitors see this cache for cache lifetime. So for example if you have set 10 min cache and 1000 users visit your site within 10 min, it’s only one time plugin will request API to pull data, for the rest of time users will see cached data almost instantly. Considering that server runs cache renew task it guarantees plugin’s amazing performance.
