High Memory Usage and Object Cache Issues with Kirki Plugin

Hello,

I am experiencing high memory usage related to the Kirki plugin, particularly with object cache commands, as highlighted by Query Monitor. The issue seems to occur when handling the kirki_googlefonts_cache transient, which is consuming significant memory (up to 1.44 MB in some cases) and contributing to performance slowdowns.

Here are some key details from Query Monitor’s Object Cache section:

• Command: GET site-transient:kirki_googlefonts_cache
• Caller: Kirki\GoogleFonts->get_google_fonts() in GoogleFonts.php
• Memory Usage: Around 1.44 MB on specific requests

This high memory usage from Kirki’s caching appears to be affecting my site’s performance, and I’m looking for insights on how to manage or reduce this overhead. The issue has persisted across PHP 8.1 and 8.2, so it doesn’t seem to be directly tied to the PHP version upgrade.

Has anyone encountered similar Object Cache-related performance issues with Kirki? Any recommendations on optimizing or limiting the memory impact of these cache commands would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help!
