This is a plugin for Obsidian that maintains backlink cache to speed up undocumented app.metadataCache.getBacklinksForFile function.

It's mostly useful for users with the large vaults. On smaller vaults the difference might be unnoticeable.

It speeds up Backlinks Pane performance and plugins that deal with the backlinks.

This plugin the most likely will be useful for other plugin developers that deal with the backlinks.

Its idea came from the forum.

If you need to call the original version, you can use app.metadataCache.getBacklinksForFile.originalFunc function.

• Backlink Cache is available in the official Community Plugins repository.
• Beta releases can be installed through BRAT.
