  1. take a look at WordPress Transients API

    which offers a simple and standardized way of storing cached data in the database temporarily by giving it a custom name and a timeframe after which it will expire and be deleted.

    The transients API is very similar to
    the Options API but with the added
    feature of an expiration time, which
    simplifies the process of using the
    wp_options database table to store
    cached information.
