CACHING
-------
Note that Google has a moderately strict Quota Policy https://developers.google
.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/limits-quotas#core_reporting. To aid
with this limitation, this module caches query results for a time that you
specify in the admin settings. Our recommendation is at least three days.
