Transients
● When a user visits a store we geolocate the user, look up the relevant tax rates,
and apply them to product if the tax rates are inclusive (ex. European pricing).
● We store the product price including the tax as a transient
● We display the product with the price to the user
● The problem is when someone has 1,000 products and users from 20 different
countries visiting their store. You can easily grow the transients table to 20,000
records slowing all queries.
