Chapter 04: Object Caching, Page Caching, and Other Speed Optimizations

We’ll start this chapter with a benchmark of site speed without caching and end it with a benchmark with caching enabled. We’ll install Redis and a companion WordPress plugin that will work together to enable object caching. Next we’ll return to our Nginx config files and add a batch of directives to enable FastCGI Cache and tell it what not to cache, including some directives for WooCommerce.
