Our blog is in Wordpress, so I setup the RSS Reader extension in Radiant to fetch the posts. Everything worked great, except that page loading was noticeably slower. After the page gets cached everything is fine but this is included on every page so going through the site when there were not cached pages was really frustrating. I thought about modifying the RSS Reader extension to cache our blog blurbs, but I figured a more general approach would work better, so I came up with a fragment caching extension. We’re using it like this:

<r:cache name="rss_fragment" time="60">
  <r:feed:items url="[feed_url]" limit="1">
    <h3><r:feed:link /></h3>
    <p><r:feed:content max_length="300" no_html="true" /></p>
  </r:feed:items>
</r:cache>

The code is at github.
