Two, does L&L have any code for duplicates? In most of my sites, normally i’ll have to write exta wordpress code to exclude a post from showing multiple times if its already printed on the same page in different blocks. Is this possible with L&L?

Welcome Giannis,

There is an exclude parameter for most loop types. I imagine you could create some logic that checks for an already displayed post ID on the page and excludes it from the loop.

Perhaps you can create a list of post IDs that are already displayed on the page and then do a comparison within a post loop to exclude them.

I use this to exclude the currently displayed single post from a ‘More Posts’ feature:

<Loop type="post" count="3" orderby="date" order="desc" exclude="{Field id}">
    <Field title />
</Loop>

Also, this reusable posts demo might be helpful in understanding how L&L can speed up your development:

A flexible posts loop! (D.R.Y coding)

I’ve built a lot of stuff using L&L while creating my own WP theme but one of the most useful and time-saving things was a flexible post loop that I use to display posts all over my websites. The template uses parameters (local variables) to flex to many common use cases. You can see this in use on these websites: https://cutloosecrew.com/ https://danaeripley.com/ Below are the basic instructions and code for recreating this handy posts loop.

With regards to performance, personally, I use Lightspeed cache (Advanced setting) and can achieve scores in the 90s on Google PageSpeed Test, but my sites are fairly simple with minimal plugins running.
