Redis and ‘late_init’

  • Hi,

    I am currently using Supercache, Redis and Autoptimize together (with Redis constants in wp-config.php) on an Apache webserver. Unfortunately, I can not find much information about combining Supercache and Redis.

    I have 4 questions:

    1. Are there any reasons why I should not run Redis besides Supercache? In your settings page you suggest using object caching besides Supercache’s page caching, I assume this includes Redis?

    2. Are there no racing conflicts between the two, in serving the cached pages and the cached objects?

    3. Is it ok to enable the setting “Late_init” in this regard, or does that frustrate the cooperation between Supercache and Redis, or slow it down to a point that it does not make sense to use this combination?

    4. Does “Late_init” only load WordPress’s functions first, or also all the third party plugins functions first?

    Thanks for clearing this up for me. ??

    Cheers.

  • 1. Yes, it will make your site faster.
    2. I don’t think so. This plugin caches whole pages while an object cache stores objects like posts, comments, the user object, etc in memory so the database doesn’t have to be hit so often.
    3. It’s fine. There’s no cooperation between Supercache and Redis/any object cache. They operate independently.
    4. It causes the cache engine to load on “init” rather than before before most of WP loads. This means that cached files will be served after “init” so plenty of time to hook into the process to change things.
