Hey, I totally get your point. But, iThemes Security plugin can write into wp-config.php. 3 Star was harsh :-). I should have given 5 Stars.

★★★★★

Hi Till,

Thanks for the recommendation. I did install it and tested few pages. No doubt the pages load in 1-2 seconds. I did test in Incognito mode and In Mobile devices too.

The Debug plugin reports :

Cache Status: Connected
Cache Hits: 6614
Cache Misses: 43

Caches Retrieved:

prefix:group:key - size in kilobytes
ic3qt4_:default:is_blog_installed - 0.01 kb
ic3qt4_:options:notoptions - 26.63 kb
ic3qt4_:options:alloptions - 394.04 kb
ic3qt4_:options:uninstall_plugins - 0.85 kb

So, that means object cache is working. It would be great if you could add options setting panel in wp-admin backend to configure redis cache plugin and monitor.

Yes it definitely can. You should put all types of caching mechanisms in place like memcached, zend opcache, varnish-cache. You can use w3 total cache and mix and match the caching mechanisms and test which one serves you better.
You should invest in a CDN like cloudfront or any other available alternative. You can have elastic load balancing in AWS. You should keep some EC2 instances provisioned in case you expect traffic to peak at any given period of time. You should be able to calculate that from ananlytics and past traffic growth pattern. You should be using HyperDB plugin to serve you database from multiple hosts over multiple ec2 instances (if using aws). Rest is keeping redundant backups, replications and scaling with colacation server (or in aws terms having ec2 instances multiple availibility zones). One last thing you should invest in better DNS server. That will be a great relief in long run.

I must mention … i had been using sociable plugin on my blog TechniKaly but this one is lite than latter and much more nater and cleaner. Real awesome for me.

I was wondering how can we use it manually (insert php function)?

Solved …
