set_site_transient() WordPress Function
The set_site_transient() function is a WordPress function that sets/updates a site transient. A transient is a piece of data that is stored in the database for a short amount of time, and is then automatically deleted. This function is typically used to store data that is frequently accessed, but doesn't need to be stored permanently.
set_site_transient( string $transient, mixed $value, int $expiration ) #
