Overview
Docket Cache is a persistent WordPress Object Cache that stores cached data as plain PHP code. It is designed as an alternative for sites that do not have access to Redis or Memcached.

Docket Cache hat meine Seiten mit Elementor Pro, LearnPress und PMP deutlich schneller gemacht. Die Datenbankzeit ging praktisch auf null, die Anzahl der Queries wurde stark reduziert, und das Backend fühlt sich viel reaktionsschneller an. Einfach zu installieren, leicht zu konfigurieren und perfekt kompatibel mit WP Rocket und WP Optimize. Absolute Empfehlung!
