Cashing system works fine with Opcache

Hi @takuyoshi,

However, that doesn’t mention Opcache even though WPP works totally fine with it.

Why not to include Opcache in there for future visitors?

There’s a very simple reason for this: Redis, Memcached and APCu are more widely used for this kind of stuff. I actually had no idea that OPcache would work as an in-memory data storage as well (isn’t OPcache just a cache for compiled PHP code though? Or at least that’s my understanding about it, I may be wrong.)

Hi @hcabrera,

Docket cache is a Object Cache plugin, it is alternative to redis or memcached. This possible because docket cache converts the object cache into plain PHP code and directly using OPcache when read the cache file. Hopefully this explains how it works.

Thanks.

Thanks for chiming in, @nawawijamili. So basically a file-based cache, correct? If so then I’m not sure whether Docket Cache can help improve performance in WPP’s case: WordPress Popular Posts will be writing data to this file (page views) constantly and this -AFAIK at least- might be even slower than writing directly to the database under some circumstances which is not an ideal situation for the users of the WPP plugin nor for me.

@takuyoshi due to the concerns expressed above I cannot officially recommend this to other users – at least not yet until I have more data to verify how using a file-based cache fares in term of performance. Feel free to report back your experience, other users reading this will surely appreciate your input.
