Object Caching (Redis/Memcached)

Updated this week

FlyingPress works well with object caching solutions like Redis or Memcached, but for most sites, it’s not required.

What’s the difference?

  • FlyingPress – Full Page Caching

    • Generates and serves static HTML pages directly

    • Bypasses PHP and database completely for cached pages

    • Greatly improves frontend performance

  • Object Caching (Redis/Memcached)

    • Caches database query results in memory

    • Useful for speeding up wp-admin and non-cacheable pages

Does FlyingPress include object caching?

No, FlyingPress does not include built-in object caching, as it’s not needed for the majority of websites.
If required, you can use any object caching plugin—Redis Object Cache is a popular option.

When to consider object caching

  • You want to speed up the WordPress admin area

  • Your site has dynamic, uncached content (e.g., user dashboards, cart pages)

For most sites, FlyingPress alone is enough. Use object caching only if you need faster performance for dynamic backend operations.
