EE + WP Rocket

If it’s paid, premium, it’s got to be better, right?

No, but that mean almost everyone can use it, on almost any platform. When Redis-object cache require a redis-server installed and a PECL extension for better performance.

But --wpredis is not a full page caching, you will not find any define('WP_CACHE', true); in your wp-config.php

http/2 is already available with EE

--wpredis does enable full page caching backed by redis using Nginx Modules - https://easyengine.io/blog/easyengine-3-3-full-page-redis-cache/

It doesn’t use advance-cache.php so define('WP_CACHE', true); many not be required.

Ok, sorry for the mistake !

It’s fine. :slight_smile:

I am coincidentally reading on the same topic when you replied, so jumped in.

It was meant as a sarcasm.

Since this is an EE forum, I assume everyone will have acces to redis server and PECL extension.

Yes I know. That’s why features such as Page preload or DNS prefetching won’t have much performance impact as before SPDY or HTTP2.

My point with previous post is; there’s no need for extra caching or other unnecessary optimization since EE already offer them out of the box.

One benefit of wp-rocket is cache preloading, this is useful if you don’t have a really busy site. I believe redis drops the pages out of cache in a pretty short time, where you can keep them in cache indefinitely with wp-rocket on disk. I’m not saying it’s better I just keep seeing people say there is no benefit to wp-rocket vs redis cache but there are some.
