Speed Up WordPress with Redis & Caching

Make WordPress Fast

Every TackHost plan includes NVMe SSD storage, OPcache, and Redis object cache - here is how to take advantage of them.

1. Enable Redis object cache

1. In your control panel, open Redis and enable it for your site.
2. Install a caching plugin that supports Redis (for example W3 Total Cache or Redis Object Cache).
3. In the plugin, enable the object cache - it will detect Redis automatically.

2. Enable page caching

Use a page-cache plugin (W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, or LiteSpeed Cache) so visitors are served static HTML.

3. Optimize images and database

• Compress images with a plugin like ShortPixel or Imagify.
• Clean your database (delete old revisions/transients) monthly.

These three steps typically cut page load times by 50-80%.
