Redis is like a turbocharger for websites. It helps them load faster by keeping vital information handy, so when you visit a site, it's like taking the express lane instead of sitting in traffic.
It operates by storing frequently accessed data in memory, making websites load faster for users.
Redis is available only in our premium DirectAdmin plans. You can see our premier plans here!
Before you begin, please get in touch with our team to enable Redis on your premier web hosting account.
1. Log into the client account as a user, head to Advanced Features > Redis
2. Enable Redis, and also copy the path to the Redis socket file (You will require this later on)
3. Return to the control panel and head to Select PHP version under Extra Features.
4. Under the Extensions option, tick the checkbox for Redis.
5. Log into the WordPress site and head to the Litespeed cache plugin (If it isn't available, install it by following this guide here.) and click Cache.
6. Click on the Object tab.
-Ensure the Object cache is set to ON
-Ensure the Method is set to Redis
-Enter the Path to socket file (from step 4) into the Host
-Ensure the port is set to 0
Once complete - scroll down and click Save Changes.
7. On the same page, under status.
-Redis Extension needs to be Enabled
-The Connection Test needs to have been Passed
If those options are not showing as enabled/passed, then they are not configured correctly.
