Object Cache 4 everyone

Description

Improve your server performance using Memcached for object caching or improve your server performance using disk support for object caching.

Less resources needed and better pagespeed.

Less database queries needed.

Detects automatically any Memcached server running and adds an object-cache.php file to your WordPress site.

Default memcached servers tested:
– 127.0.0.1:11211
– 127.0.0.1:11212
– 127.0.0.1:11213
– 127.0.0.1:20000
– 127.0.0.1:20001
– Any SiteGround Memcached setup

Since 1.4, you can declare your own Memcached Server instance in the wp-config.php file.
Example:
define(‘OC4EVERYONE_MEMCACHED_SERVER’, ‘127.0.0.1:11211’);

Starting from version 1.6, you have the option to declare in the wp-config.php file whether you want to use the external disk object cache in case the Memcached Server is not present.
Outdated or malfunctioning disks can negatively impact website performance.
Example:
define(‘OC4EVERYONE_DISABLE_DISK_CACHE’, true);

This plugin includes a modified template from this project:

A WordPress object cache that uses the memcached (not memcache) PECL extension.

Lots of potential

This plugin is sorely needed and has lots of potential. I like how it doesn’t try to do more than it needs to regarding features. Unfortunately, updates do not come frequently enough to be in our main production sites. Somebody give this guy some resources!

Great Plugin

Partly good

If the server does not have a memcache function, then the disk cache function is used, which fills up the server hard disk within a few days and thus drastically slows down the website. It seems that the function to delete disk cache files is missing.

Good plugin

Works very well, significantly improves the page rendering speed.

Lean and simple — it just works

This is a really good one. There are a surprisingly few number of plugins devoted solely to object caching, so I was pleased to find this little gem. Thanks to the developer for it, and please keep it updated and supported! It fills an important need. It is lean and simple to use without having a bewildering number of options that make things easy to break.
