can recommend this plug-in
by Marisa·1 week ago
I installed Redis Object Cache a couple of days ago and the diagnostics shows me it is saving on a good proportion of MySQL database hits.
The author responded quickly to my questions on the support forum.
Every WordPress site should have an object cache and, although it is early days for me, I can recommend this plugin.
Lack of options and forced adverts
by obbatron·1 month ago·1 reply
It would be wildy easier to use if it was possible to change the IP. Sometimes you have multiple containers working alongside each other in a complex network. This plugin just defaults to presuming Redis is local. Sure I can edit loads of files to fix this.. but then the plugin is pointless if I am just leaning on CLI.
Beyond this, it adds adverts to the wordpress dashboard. A feature which should not even be possible in my view. I get it, you need to make money. But shoving adverts all over my website just makes me never ever want to spend a dime on your products.

Amazing plugin.
But if you are using it on some serious projects don’t forget to disable Redis Cache for your ERP imports/wp cli etc in wp_config.

When I was getting to know about object cache and other things, I was worried about spending lots of time setting it up. But I rarely face any error and it was quick. 🙂
