Does your plugin work with nginx

I am not associated with this plugin, but just wanted to chime in that it works well with nginx out of the box. If you want to bypass php processing by WordPress entirely for cached pages, you can follow Cache Enabler’s official guide: https://www.keycdn.com/support/wordpress-cache-enabler-plugin#nginx

I have personally used it with nginx and am now using it with caddy.

Thank you for your reply,

However, the linked article says that we have to add specific codes to the nginx configuration for the plugin to work with nginx….. so it means cache enabler does not work with nginx reverse-proxy out of the box.

It will work, but php will be used. The code is necessary if you want php to be entirely bypassed for cached pages. This applies to whatever web server or proxy you’re using, be it apache httpd, nginx, caddy, etc.

Ok thanks for the information.

So, will this cache plugin improve site performance which already includes nginx reverse-proxy caching, PHP-FPM and Redis object cache, without adding any customizations in the nginx configuration?

I don’t believe so. I haven’t used reverse-proxy caching in nginx but I have used fastcgi cache and performance was as good as any WordPress cache plugin, and arguably better. nginx already has excellent caching modules, so you should use them to leverage server level caching instead of using WordPress plugins.

I have since switched from nginx to caddy, which doesn’t include a caching mechanism in the default setup, so I’m using Cache Enabler and am very happy with it. Cache Enabler works reliably and has so far avoided feature bloat, which is a huge issue with several popular WordPress plugins these days.

Great! Thanks so much for the detailed explanations.

Now everything’s perfectly clear to me.

I hope this information will be helpful to all visitors like me.

Many thanks again

Swag.
