2. General settings

You can customize WP Ultra Filter's advanced settings by accessing General Settings > General. Here's what each option controls:

• Caching Speed: This controls the speed at which the Cache is built when first indexing all the posts on your site or when it is required to be rebuilt.
• Use Background Processes: Build the cache in the background using 'wp_ultra_filter()' - this is generally a good thing.
• Use Transients: Frequently accessed query data will be stored in transients - this sometimes helps on sites with larger numbers of posts and filters/options.
• Use AJAX dynamic filtering: When the user selects some filters, auto-apply filtering.
• Selected Filters (Chips) integration: Select where to show Chips on your site. Or enter your theme's hooks. For example: before_main_content.
