# Database Cache with Redis does nothing

 * Hello.
    Tried to set “Database Cache” with “Redis” and it seems to push data 
   to Redis but doesn’t seem to pull the data from it. Run a couple of benchmarks
   and there is no difference between “Database Cache” enabled or disabled. The 
   only significant difference is with “Disk” option enabled. Thank you.

 * Hello [@furioussnail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/furioussnail/)
 * Thank you for your inquiry and I am happy to assist you with this.
    “Memory Cache”
   stores and loads resources to and from Memory (RAM). So this is much faster but
   it is non-persistent. Content is available until you close the Browser. “Disk
   Cache” is persistent. Cached resources are stored and loaded to and from disk.
   However, you can enable persistent connecting in the Performance>Database Cache
   for Redis. Thanks!

 * What does have the browser to do with Redis? As I explained caching isn’t working
   with Redis. Keys get pushed to the DB but don’t get pulled.

 * Hello [@furioussnail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/furioussnail/)
 * Thank you for the clarification.
    W3 Total Cache allows you to use Redis as a
   memory caching solution. Please make sure to double-check the Redis configuration
   an make sure to check their [documentation](https://redis.io/topics/config). 
   Thanks!
