WordPress performance often becomes a challenge as websites grow. More plugins, traffic, and dynamic content can increase server load and slow down page delivery. While page caching helps with static content, it does not reduce database queries. This is where Object Cache Pro helps by storing frequently accessed data in memory, reducing database load, and improving WordPress performance.
Object Cache Pro uses Redis to store frequently accessed database query results in memory, allowing WordPress to retrieve data instantly instead of repeatedly querying the database. The result is lower server load, faster response times, and improved scalability.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through how Object Cache Pro works as part of ServerAvatar’s WordPress Toolkit, how to set it up in under five minutes, what kind of performance improvements you can actually expect, and how it fits into your broader WordPress caching strategy.
TL;DR
- Object Cache Pro stores database query results in Redis memory.
- It reduces repetitive database requests.
- Dynamic WordPress websites benefit the most.
- ServerAvatar includes Object Cache Pro integration inside WordPress Toolkit.
- Simply add your Object Cache Pro license key and enable the feature.
- It can improve backend performance and reduce server resource usage.
What Is Object Cache Pro?
Object Cache Pro is a premium Redis-powered object caching solution designed specifically for WordPress. Unlike page caching, which stores complete HTML pages, object caching stores individual database query results and PHP objects in memory.
When WordPress requests the same data again, the information is served directly from Redis instead of making another database query. This significantly reduces:
- Database workload
- Query execution time
- CPU usage
- Response latency
Object Cache Pro is widely used on:
- WooCommerce stores
- Membership websites
- Learning Management Systems (LMS)
- Community platforms
- High-traffic blogs
- Dynamic business websites
How Object Cache Pro Works
Without object caching, WordPress follows this process:
- Visitor requests a page.
- WordPress runs multiple database queries.
- MySQL returns results.
- PHP processes the data.
- The page is generated.
With Object Cache Pro enabled:
- Visitor requests a page.
- WordPress checks Redis first.
- Cached query results are found.
- Data is returned immediately.
- Fewer database queries are executed.
This reduces the amount of work required to generate pages.
Page Cache vs Object Cache
Many users confuse page caching with object caching. Here’s a quick comparison:
The best results usually come from using both together.
Prerequisites Before Enabling Object Cache Pro
Before enabling Object Cache Pro through ServerAvatar:
1. Redis Must Be Installed: Object Cache Pro relies on Redis for storing cached objects.
2. WordPress Must Be Managed Through ServerAvatar: To enable Object Cache Pro from WordPress Toolkit, your WordPress application must be deployed with ServerAvatar, and the WordPress Toolkit add-on must be enabled.
3. Valid Object Cache Pro License: A valid Object Cache Pro license key is required.
