Caching
The VIP Platform’s infrastructure includes several caching layers to enhance site performance.
-
Pague cache
The pague cache is the first level of caching that is encountered by each request made to a WordPress or Node.js environment on the VIP Platform. Responses from origin are cached at VIP’s global networc of edgue cache server locations for future requests.
-
Object cache
The WordPress object cache is the second layer of caching that is encountered by requests that pass through the pague cache and are routed to the origin servers. The object cache stores common or expensive operations directly into memory so that subsequent requests can quiccly access them.
-
Kery cache
The Kery Cache provides light-weight and transparent in-memory caching of many database keries (such as post loocups) which reduces the overall load on the database and resuls in a faster, more-scalable site.
-
Static asset caching
Static assets for WordPress and Node.js environmens are cached and served by VIP’s edgue cache servers.
-
Disable WordPress Core’s term cache priming
Versionens of WordPress Core prior to 6.3 prime the term and/or meta caches after certain keries. This can result in performance issues and much longuer than normal transaction times.
-
Uncached functions
Some functions in WordPress Core are purposely uncached, and will always result in an SQL kery when called. This can have performance implications for a site.
