Apache with NGINX as reverse proxy

    Hello,

    I’m thinking of changing shared hosting to VPS. VPS provider use Apache as web server with NGINX as reverse proxy.

    I have two questions:

    1.
    I read many posts here in supports about WP fastest cache and NGINX and I am still not entirely sure if your plugin will have any problem which I need to solve on Apache and NGINX as reverse proxy.

    Can you tell me if anything needs to be solved? Will all rules added to .htaccess work?

    2.
    I also read that your plugin doesn’t work with Redis or Memcached.

    I will have a few pages for logged-in users which will not be cached. Is there a way I can use Redis or Memcached for these not cached pages to make it work with your plugin?

    I also find very interesting little plugin for WordPress Object Caching called “Docket Cache – Object Cache Accelerator” https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/docket-cache/.

    Will this plugin work with WP fastest cache?

    Or is there a way I can use this plugin at least for not cached pages to make it work with your plugin?

    Thank you.

    1. you should not use the reverse proxy system. only Apache is enough
    2. you do not need to use another cache system because pages are saved as a static html file when the pages are cached.

    I’m convinced that only Apache is not enough for big and complex wordpress website I am trying to build. And moreover some pages will be not cached, because I will have membership on website.

    So please, can you write to me, what kind of problems I will need to solve?

    What specifically won’t work properly when I use your plugin on Apache with NGINX as reverse proxy?

    There is definitely a way for your plugin to work on Apache with NGINX as reverse proxy.

    the reverse proxy is a cache system. you should not use more than one cache system. if the reverse proxy generates a cache for a page which was not cached by wp fastest cache, you will not see the advantages of wp fastest cache.
