What are some best practices for optimizing PHP scripts when generating and displaying complex family tree diagrams?

Issue: When generating and displaying complex family tree diagrams in PHP, it is important to optimize the scripts to ensure efficient processing and rendering of the diagrams. One way to achieve this is by using caching mechanisms to store pre-rendered tree structures and reduce the processing time required for each request. Code snippet:

// Check if the cached tree structure exists
$cacheKey = 'family_tree_' . $userId;
$treeStructure = getFromCache($cacheKey);

if (!$treeStructure) {
    // Generate the tree structure if not found in cache
    $treeStructure = generateFamilyTree($userId);

    // Store the generated tree structure in cache
    storeInCache($cacheKey, $treeStructure);
}

// Display the family tree diagram using the cached tree structure
displayFamilyTree($treeStructure);
