Are the widgets generated multiple times from database? | WordPress.org

Hello Gagan,

when I include a widget by shortcode, that is already included in the page (and maybe hidden by css), will the widget be generated a second time or is it buffered in a way and has to be generated just once from the database?

Thanks for answering – and for your GREAT work!

It is run a second time – there’s no mechanism for “knowing” that the other instance of the shortcode exists.

It will slow your page load time with multiple instances of shortcodes.

Perhaps you can use some form of widget visibility control (as included in JetPack) to exclude that widget from pages where the same shortcode exists.
