Absolutely Brilliant

  • Honestly I was skeptical at first because of the low number of installs, but given the lack of options for object caching on a lot of shared hosting services that I cant control with a lot of client sites I decided to give it a shot on a few.

    This plugin is amazing, it helped turn a 15 second load on back end page edits into 3-4 seconds on a plugin heavy site running on an overpopulated shared host that I wont name here, but it was honestly awful, one of the worst I’ve ever used and a surprisingly big name. I was brought in to try and optimize a monster on this occasion and it helped me turn it into some form of a workhorse again for my client, with almost no setup, toggled a checkbox or two and clicked save.

    This plugin needs more downloads, there are so many sites running on garbage hosting that could use this to make the back end a working environment again.

    I will be using this on any site where I do not have redis or memcache available from here on out, cheers to the developer, you are an true WP Wizard.

    Thanks for the kind words! I developed this, fairly recently, to handle exactly the situation you mention on a host like the one you mention, maybe even the same one.

    But one caution. Check the performance statistics when you try this on a new host. For reasons I don’t understand, some hosts handle SQLite3 operations remarkably slowly.

    Its working beautifully for what it needs to do on the sites I’m using it on. If I were hosting those sites myself, they would be on an Nginx machine with Redis so I wouldn’t be in need of such a tool, but a lot of my clients come to me with monsters hosted on budget hosting needing me to tame it and this is fixed into my arsenal on these fights for sure.
