Unicom3000 Redis-object-cache does not improve directly site performance, but it can improve WordPress backend performance.
Then the main difference between Fastcgi_cache and Redis Full-page cache (fastcgi_cache is also a full-page cache solution) is you cannot use fastcgi_cache with redundant systems, because it would require to share fastcgi_cache path between all servers.

But if you use Redis cache or Nginx fastcgi_cache, you should not need an additional cache for WordPress, both of them are powerful caching systems which serve cached pages directly from cache without making a single request to WordPress.

    Hello @VirtuBox:

    VirtuBox Then on very high-traffic sites, I often use WP-Rocket with Nginx fastcgi_cache to decrease server load by using to layer of cache.

    I know Wordops support creating site by using wo site create site.tld --wprocket

    It would be great if you can share the method of configuration that you said "WP-Rocket with Nginx fastcgi_cache to decrease server load by using to layer of cache".

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi vasiler ,

    Do you recommand the above configuration method for Woocommece site please?

    Thanks

    vasiler

    vasiler do not use Redis anyway. I dont know. I think you are right.

    Thanks, I will try this method as below on Woocommoce site:

    1#Wp-rocket
    2#plugin Nginx Helper for clearing cache
    3# Using this plugin https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/61-disable-page-caching
    4# Update site using --wpfc

    Although, I found there are so manny external connections when commercial plugin used on site, if you like, you can use Snitch(https://wordpress.org/plugins/snitch/) to monitor, and will find things like this screenshot:

    http://prntscr.com/spikau
    These external connections sometime caused site delay.

      I use Wp Rocket with CSS optimization feature active, I installed Snitch and I don't have those delays. They probably only appear when Wp Rocket generates static css.

        vasiler They probably only appear when Wp Rocket generates static css.

        Yes. sometimes, but not always.

        For commercial plugins, I am just wonder whether it is safe enough for our site, any idea upon security to share please?

        Thanks

        wo site update example.com --ngxblocker for some security rules and Wordfence plugin (optional)

          vasiler wo site update example.com --ngxblocker

          Great sharing, I read docs several times, but I missed that🙂
          Thanks

          Just share what I did:

          On my Woocommerce site, there are almost 5000 SKU products, and I am using the following configuration now:

          nginx helper + redis-object-cache
          Merge + Minify + Refresh
          EWWW Image Optimizer

          The speed is just ok.

          After setup a site with Wp-rockect, and only one SKU one site, the speed is no so fast like what I expected.
          I have not test the the following conf method yet:

          alexlii1971 1#Wp-rocket
          2#plugin Nginx Helper for clearing cache
          3# Using this plugin https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/61-disable-page-caching
          4# Update site using --wpfc

          Since I am not sure whether it is suitable for Woocommerce site, or do you think it is good method or any experience with the above configuration on Woocommerce?

          Thanks

          According to the following info:

          VirtuBox Then the main difference between Fastcgi_cache and Redis Full-page cache (fastcgi_cache is also a full-page cache solution) is you cannot use fastcgi_cache with redundant systems, because it would require to share fastcgi_cache path between all servers.

          The above configuration method of Fastcgi_cache with Wp-rockect seems limited to only one wordpress site on one server?

          What about if there are more than one wordpress sites please?

          Thanks

            jond1

            Thanks for sharing, two questions please?
            1# Fastcgi_cache enabled? More than one wordpress site on one server?
            2#Do you running Woocommerce on your site please?
            3# what are your other configuration or plugins related please? Nginx helpler? Wp-rocket?

            Thanks

            1) Nope, I do not use fastCGI on any sites because I run in a cluster behind a load balancer
            2) I do not, but there are no known issues running these setups because page caches will ignore woocommerce cookies
            3) I use Breeze only for its CDN rewriting, so all my assets run on cdn.domain.com and then I aggressively cache cdn.domain.com/* through Cloudflare

              jond1 page caches will ignore woocommerce cookies

              jond1 a cluster behind a load balancer

              Sounds great, thanks for sharing.

              Hey @jond1 I would be very interested to know more specifics about your multi server setup.
              Do you use CEPH? How do you handle the distributed database?
              How do you put your assets on the subdomain?
              ....
              And thanks for those plugin tips!!
              @VirtuBox MAybe we can switch the object cache plugin to the one from pressjitsu?
