Object Cache Pro

Configuration

The configuration of Object Cache Pro is done using the WP_REDIS_CONFIG PHP constant in your wp-config.php file.

Any configuration error will generate an error log entry, and if WP_DEBUG is enabled, additionally throw an exception.

The full list of available configuration options can be found in the options guide.

For most production environments the configuration below is a good starting point:

define('WP_REDIS_CONFIG', [
    'token' => '<your-license-token>',
    'host' => '127.0.0.1',
    'port' => 6379,
    'database' => 0, // change for each site
    'maxttl' => 3600 * 24 * 7, // 7 days
    'timeout' => 1.0,
    'read_timeout' => 1.0,
    'split_alloptions' => true,
    'debug' => false,
]);

define('WP_REDIS_DISABLED', false);

High Performance #

When optimizing for milliseconds, the configuration below is recommended as well as setting an Eviction Policy.

This configuration requires:

  • Redis 4.0+
  • PhpRedis 5.1+ compiled with igbinary and zstd support
define('WP_REDIS_CONFIG', [
    'token' => '...',
    'host' => '127.0.0.1',
    'port' => 6379,
    'database' => 0, // change for each site
    'timeout' => 0.5,
    'read_timeout' => 0.5,
    'async_flush' => true,
    'compression' => 'zstd',
    'serializer' => 'igbinary',
    'split_alloptions' => true,
    'prefetch' => true,
    'debug' => false,
    'save_commands' => false,
]);

define('WP_REDIS_DISABLED', getenv('WP_REDIS_DISABLED') ?: false);

It might also be necessary to have access to redis-cli to flush the cache after deploying this configuration, in case of compression/serialization conflicts.
