Enabling Cache

    I am considering enabling caching by adding the following line to my wp-config.php file:

    [ define(‘ENABLE_CACHE’, true); ]

    If it speeds up my page loading, it would seem as though WordPress would have made this a default. So, there must be a problem with doing it. Before I do so, can anyone tell me what the consequences of this action would be?

    Thanks!

  • The gurus say that doesn’t really help.
    If you have a high traffic site you’d be better off to try the wp-cache PLUGIN – not that built-in gizmo ??

    wp-cache2 plugin does ‘static page caching’, which is most useful for the majority of high-volume sites.

    the internal ‘object cache’ mechanism you are asking about can also be thought of as a ‘query cache’ — and thus, depending on your HD speed, and your speed of your MySQL server, and how much you have dedicated to query caching, you may find results vary a lot. Also, the very few folks running the internal cache are heavyweight gurus, using it with a memcached or equivalent backend replacement, so the caching never hits disk like the ‘default implementation’ does.

    In the end, for most users it shouldn’t even be referenced in the docs… ??
