Object cache setting, while using server-level caching?

    Hi,

    I’m a relatively new user and I just noticed the “Object cache” setting in the plugin.

    I’ve got server-level caching, through Siteground. Is it best to disable this plugin-based option for object caching? Or use both?

    Hi Ronnie,

    We’re going to remove the object caching setting (and feature) in the upcoming update of TSF because it causes indexing and API issues difficult to detect and debug.

    So, any further discussion on this topic is moot ??

    I advise leaving the option unchecked. The performance benefit is negligible anyway: a few milliseconds at best.

    Do use the server-level caching of Siteground if that helps you. If you can enable Opcode caching for Siteground — definitely do so! It’s best to reach out to Siteground’s support for WordPress optimization.

    Have a nice day!

    Thanks for the reply. Really appreciate it.

    If it’s not too much trouble, I’m also a bit confused on Query Alteration Settings. (Search and Archive).

    For example, is search query alteration only to exclude pages from showing up if people search within my own site? Through my internal search bar?

    If so, I don’t need. I just wasn’t 100% clear on what these settings do.

    Hi Ronnie!

    When in doubt: Don’t touch the setting.

    I added the query alteration settings for sites that have grown beyond humanly interpretable numbers, such as news networks with 100,000+ posts with 100 visits per second with databases decoupled from the webserver.

    Most other site types will not notice a difference in changing the options, so I advise keeping the default settings to prevent side effects.

    The query alteration settings affect local on-site search queries only (https://example.com/search/search+term/, or the ugly archaic ?s=search+term) and local on-site archives (including widgets). So, yes, the “internal search bar” is affected by those options.

    Via the post-edit SEO Visibility settings, you can exclude posts from archives and posts + pages from search results.
