Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about atec Cache APCu
Object caching involves storing variables and database queries thereby speeding up PHP execution times. This reduces the load on your server, and delivers content to your visitors faster.
Page caching refers to caching the content of a whole page on the server-side. Later when the same page is requested again, its content will be served from the cache instead of regenerating it from scratch.
If you use WP-CLI to run .php scripts, please set "apc.enable_cli=1" in your php.ini – otherwise object-cache will not work.
This plugin isn’t optimized for multisite environments. Since multisite setups require incorporating a blog ID — a feature not supported by this plugin — we recommend using our "mega-cache" plugin instead.
This depends on the translation plugin being used. When translations are performed on the fly, the page or post ID remains unchanged, preventing "atec-cache-apcu" from detecting any differences. Please use our "mega-cache" plugin instead.
Partly. Cart, checkout, and account pages are automatically excluded from the page cache.
Ye – if APCu is available. It is ideal for VPS or dedicated servers.
No. This plugin is APCu-only and does not require other memory caches.
It uses pure APCu without network latency, with optimized logic for set/get/flush and auto-purging support.
You can define the constant DONOTCACHEPAGE to prevent a page from being stored in the cache. To use it correctly, make sure it is defined early during WordPress execution — before output begins. For example, in a plugin or theme: add_action('template_redirect', function() { if ( is_page('thank-you') || is_user_logged_in() ) { define('DONOTCACHEPAGE', true); } }); This ensures the current request is processed normally but not stored in the page cache. Important: If a page has already been cached, this logic will not run — because the cached version is served before WordPress reaches your code. To apply new exclusions like this, make sure to purge the page cache after defining the logic.
