JetPrayer is a performance-first, modern, and highly customizable WordPress plugin designed to display Islamic prayer times. Unlike standard prayer time plugins that fetch timings via slow, external API calls on every page load, JetPrayer syncs the entire year's timetable with the AlAdhan API and caches it directly in your local WordPress database. This guarantees a blazing-fast frontend loading speed of 0ms external latency, saving server resources and eliminating API quota limits.<\/p>\n\n
JetPrayer includes a beautiful, premium visual style engine with support for five interactive layouts (Cards, Responsive Grid, Dynamic Slider, Ticker, and Trigger Modal) and a complete customization panel.<\/p>\n\n
This plugin relies on the external, 3rd party service AlAdhan API<\/strong> to fetch and synchronize Islamic prayer times for your target locations.\n* Service URL<\/strong>: https:\/\/aladhan.com \/ https:\/\/api.aladhan.com\n* Terms of Service<\/strong>: https:\/\/aladhan.com\/credits-and-terms\n* Data Sent<\/strong>: The plugin makes remote HTTP requests sending only the location credentials (city name\/country name or latitude\/longitude coordinates), calculation method ID, Asr school, and year. No personal user data, IP addresses, or visitor tracking data is transmitted to the external service.<\/p>\n\n JetPrayer provides a highly flexible shortcode with styling and layout parameters:<\/p>\n\n The same When you configure settings and click \"Sync\", JetPrayer downloads all 365 days of prayer timings for your selected method and location from the AlAdhan API. It stores this data in a custom MySQL table ( The plugin uses the official calculation method IDs defined by the AlAdhan API. In the API's standard, Shia Ithna-Ashari (Jafari) is mapped to ID The plugin features a 60-second rate limiter transient for the sync action. This is to protect the AlAdhan API and your website server from rate limit bans. Please wait 1 minute before running another synchronization.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes! If you manually edit prayer times in the CRUD Database Editor, the row is marked as The default location is the city\/country or coordinates configured and last synced in the \"Settings & Sync\" dashboard.
