How It Works?

1. When front-end is loaded in browser, plugin will render quote placeholder in place where you have inserted shortcode.
2. Right after page is loaded, AJAX call will request quote content and inject it inside quote placeholder. That quote is retrieved as a cached value in database.
3. Couple seconds latter, second AJAX request will initiate background quote update from WordPress.
4. If Cache Timeout period has expired, plugin will pick first symbol from All Stock Symbols field. Each time it will pick next symbol.
5. Without disturbing page rendering and speed to get quote from database, plugin in background retrieve data from AlphaVantage.co for picked symbol.
6. If quote is successfully retrieved, plugin will save value for that symbol in database.
7. New fetched quote for symbol will be displayed on front-end only after page reload but not right after updated quote get fetched from AlphaVantage.co!
