# Disk cache + object cache? Good combination?

 * Hi!
 * So far I was using only page cache (disk: enhanced) but I want to also start 
   using memcached for object cache.
 * My question is can I actually use both?Is it beneficial? And how it exactly works
   when I have both enabled. Or maybe it would be better to enable page cache (disk
   enhanced) + database cache with memcached?
 * PS: Also I noticed that my fonts (even only on disk cache) are not loading for
   like a half a second. What might be the reason?

 * Hello [@georgepennet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/georgepennet/)
 * Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
    Yes, you 
   can use both. Disk: Enhanced is awesome for Page Caching. It serves cached pages
   using the server’s URL rewriting capabilities, skipping PHP and WordPress entirely.
   It’s faster and more efficient. Object Cache allows getting data from the database
   more efficiently. Its purpose is similar to what Database Cache does. But compared
   to Database Cache, Object cache is more efficient as it allows to process fewer
   requests. As a rule of thumb, Object Cache is not worth using on shared hosting
   for the same reason as Database Cache, i.e. database is often not the performance
   bottleneck, but disk input-output operations. So if this is the case and you 
   have the Memcached as an option, you are good to go.
 * As for the Fonts, this depends on various things and especially how those fonts
   are called. IF some plugin or a theme is using google fonts then it may take 
   a moment or two for those fonts o be fetched from google.
 * I hope this helps!
 * Thanks!
