Hello Xon,
Hope you're doing well. So, recently, i had upgraded the server and running latest XF and while i upgraded the PHP to 8.3, i remembered about caching. A couple of years back, i talked to you regarding the caching options and i was using Memcache since then. However, this time, i have installed the Redis Cache and how the site works now, it is wonders!
Although due to lack of documentation and new to the caching thingy, i've a few question:
- Should i use compression with Redis? I'm aware or zlib, brotli, etc.
Here's my .htaccess and the site is working fine. But i'm not sure if i should make any kind of changes in the htaccess after installing the Redis Cache:
On the forums, i saw several configurations for the Redis and i'm interested to know about a few of the parameters listed below:
'timeout' => 2.5,
'persistent' => null,
'force_standalone' => false,
'connect_retries' => 1,
'read_timeout' => null,
'compress_data' => 1,
'lifetimelimit' => 2592000,
'compress_threshold' => 20480,
'compression_lib' => null, // dynamically select first of; snappy,lzf,l4z,gzip IF EMPTY/null
Regarding the compress_data parameter, some people have configured it as 6 (mostly) and 2. What these value mean exactly?
As always, Thank You for your excellent addons!
