    Hi,

    maybe a stupid question, but I have to ask it because the description here is not clear.

    Is OPcache Manager just a pure management/analytics tool or also a cache?

    If not a cache, then would I need to install a cache plugin in addition or is OPcache Manager targeting the OPcache feature of the server?

    BTW: After installing and activating OPcache manager and APCu manger i see no performance advantage.

    Thanks for the clarification ??

    Hello @the-dude-1 !

    There’s no stupid questions, only irrelevant answers ??

    OPcache is cache for code (PHP): it speeds up php file reading and compiling.
    APCu is a persistent cache for objects: it speed up objects storing/access (like db queries, but not only…).

    Since PHP 7, OPcache is included in (php)core and enabled by default. So you don’t have to activate something else. It is already optimizing your opcode cache.
    As a result, OPcache manager can’t (and doesn’t need) to be a cache handler. It’s purely a management/analytics tool (like other OPcache plugins).

    Conversely, APCu Manager is a management/analytics tool AND a cache handler. And it is designed to speed up your site by reducing time for long operations (like queries, computations, etc.). If you don’t see a speed improvement with APCu Manager, I suggest you to open a support request to give details, because it’s not normal.

    Hope it helps ??

    Thanks for the clarification and your fast answer. ??
    I open a new Thread in the support section of APCu Manager.
