The first time a WordPress page is loaded a database query is made via PHP. When using Redis, these queries can be stored into system memory so that when another user loads the same page there is no need to query the database again Redis will retrieve the previously cached query results from memory.
When running WordPress sites you should always look for ways to enhance the sites' performance by enabling caching and other performance boosting configurations…
This brief tutorial shows students and new users how to setup WordPress to use Redis for object caching to speed up database queries and PHP dynamic calls….
The first time a WordPress page is loaded a database query is made via PHP…. When using Redis, these queries can be stored into system memory so that when another user loads the same page there is no need to query the database again… Redis will retrieve the previously cached query results from memory…
Setting this will help improve WordPress performance…
To get started with enable Redis with WordPress support, please continue below:
Redis is a great answer, and one we bundle on the Pantheon platform. This is our plugin for integrating with the cache, but you can use it on any self-hosted WordPress site if you have Redis. Install from WordPress.orgor Github. Navigate around your WP admin area and keep an eye on the Redis monitor, to confirm if the WordPress/Redis integration is okay. Run the following command: redis-cli monitor. Log entries will appear if Redis is communicating with the WordPress; it's a positive sign that Redis.
The first thing is to have a working WordPress site… If you don't have WordPress installed, then search our site for help installing WordPress..
Wordpress Redis Docker-compose
We have covered WordPress installation with both Apache2 and Nginx support on this site….
Step 1: Install the Latest Redis Server
After installing WordPress, run the commands below to install the latest version of Redis…
The version of Redis server that comes with Ubuntu by default isn't the latest… To install the latest version you will have to add the PPA below and install from there…
To do that, run the commands below:
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
Once that package is installed, run the commands below to add the PPA that contains the latest version of Redis…
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server
After adding the repository, run the command below to install Redis…
Verify that you have version 4 of Redis installed with the following command:

Next, navigate to Settins > Redis and click on Enable Object Cache to enable the object caching in WordPress. The default configuration should work out of the box sonce the default Redis listening address is 127.0.0.1 and the default listening port is 6379.
5. Verify Redis caching on WordPress
To check whether the WordPress caching works OK with Redis you can connect to your server via SSH and run the following command:
By using the Redis monitor you will be able to see all the requests processed by the Redis server and it will help you to understand what is happening to the database. The output should be similar to the one below:
