Works like a charm !

  • All your need to do is install this plugin, install redis-server , php5-redis (optional) package in your server and you will have a redis server caching wordpress objects and queries.

    The plugin comes bundled with predis library, so installing php5-redis is optional. But php5-redis package will get you PECL Library, which is supposedly better performer than predis library. Its a personal choice anyway.

    You will need to edit wp-config to add constants like WP_REDIS_HOST, WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT, … etc. I am using a Aws Elasticahe Redis CLuster, So, I had to define these constants : WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT, WP_REDIS_HOST, Rest plugin defaults didn’t need any modifications.

    WP_REDIS_CLIENT constant can help you set an CLient redis library of choice.

    Remember all constants are to be defined in wp-config.php file.

    Finally, a nice and stable plugin. The developer could add settings panel for wp-admin backend.

    The object cache has to be configured though the wp-config.php, because it’s loaded way before any settings are loaded or even a database connection is established.

    Hey, I totally get your point. But, iThemes Security plugin can write into wp-config.php. 3 Star was harsh :-). I should have given 5 Stars.

    @abhisekpadhi You should update your star rating. It’s really strange you gave it 3* ??

    As for the settings – you should understand the Page Lifecycle and how object caching works, especially when you need to store full pages in cache. In this case you need to get access to Redis long before the WP is fully ready to go, because, well, that’s the purpose of caches – cache db queries, cache expensive calculations, cache full pages and avoid running all WP heavy stuff.
