Object cache

Turn on an object cache for a site to keep database results in memory, and turn it off again from the Add-ons tab.

Parts of this feature are still being built. The Not yet section lists them.

The object cache keeps the results of database queries in memory, so WordPress answers repeat requests faster. It suits busy sites with many logged-in users, large shops, and pages that run the same queries again and again. You turn it on for one site, and you can turn it off at any time.

The object cache costs 100 USD per month. Check the price before you enable it.

Enable or disable it

  1. Open the site and choose Add-ons. Other add-ons are not built yet, so only the object cache is listed.
  2. Find the Object cache card. It shows the monthly price, or a green check and Enabled when it is on.
  3. Choose Enable or Disable.

The change is a job, like the other changes on a site. The card changes between the price and Enabled when the job finishes. You can follow the job in the job drawer while it runs.

Owners, admins, and billing users can change the object cache. Everyone else who can open the site can read the list and see the price, but not change it.

What happens on the site

Turning the cache on switches it on for the site's live environment. Staging environments do not get the cache yet. Turning the cache off switches it off in the same place. Your pages and your content are not changed either way.

Quick answers

Does turning the cache on change my pages? No. It changes how WordPress reads the database. Your content, themes, and plugins stay as they are.

Why does the card still show the price after I chose Enable? The change is a job. Wait for it to finish, or check the job drawer. If the job fails, the card stays as it was and the job shows the reason.

Will I be charged for the object cache? The monthly price is shown on the tab. Billing for add-ons is not live yet, so the price is not on your invoice.

Not yet

  • Staging. The cache runs on the live environment only.
  • Invoice line. Add-on prices do not appear on your invoice until add-on billing is live.
