If you have a managed cPanel server with DreamIT Host or a Premier web hosting plan, we can consider installing Redis for object caching on your service.
Please submit a support ticket to our team, and we will install it on your service.
Please note:
If your server has 64 GB of RAM or above, it shouldn't be a problem.
If your server has less than 64 GB of RAM, we recommend enabling object caching for only a select few accounts. (You can enable object caching for a few sites, but we don't recommend enabling it for all users as it can consume your server's memory.)
To enable Redis for an account once it has been installed, please follow these steps:
- Log in to the cPanel account
- Scroll down to the Advanced header and click on "LiteSpeed Redis Cache Manager"
|
- On the new page, click on Enable Redis Service.
Once Redis has been enabled, you should see the message "Enabled Redis successful". - If you are on ea-PHP, you'll need to switch it to the alt-PHP via MultiPHP Manager. Note: if you are already on alt-PHP, you can skip this step.
4a. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select the checkbox for your domain. On the right side, you will see a PHP Version drop-down menu. Select the appropriate alt-PHP version, then click the Apply button. - Once they are on the alt-php version, navigate to Select PHP version
- Ensure you select the PHP version from the list of Current PHP versions that matches the PHP version you are using for the website.
- You should now see a button "Use PHP Selector"
- Click the button, and you should see the Handled By log change to cPanel to Cloudlinux.
- Next, head to the extensions and enable the Redis option.
- Next, log in to the WordPress backend and ensure that the site has LiteSpeed cache installed.
- Head to the LiteSpeed cache plugin > Cache > Object.
- Then, under Object Cache, change to On and set Method to Redis.
- Enter the following in Host: /tmp/redis.sock
- Change the value for the Port to 0.
- Save the changes.
- If the connection test passes, it confirms that the Redis object cache has been set up correctly.
