 * Hi，
 * Database cache test: [https://picshack.net/ib/mCi5uAkkCE](https://picshack.net/ib/mCi5uAkkCE),
   object cache test: [https://picshack.net/ib/iBYwpN8diP](https://picshack.net/ib/iBYwpN8diP).
 * Should I only use the database cache(Memcached), and disable the object cache?
 * Database cache and object cache seem to be about the same purpose. If only enabling
   the database cache, will it play the same role?

 * From those tests, I’d suggest using just Database Cache, for the company I work
   for, we use both, but it’s all server dependant.

 * [@fluxcoder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fluxcoder/) thank you for your
   suggestion, I am only using database cache now. Since object cache is important
   still want to use it.

 * Hello [@luislu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luislu/)
 * As you can see in the test results, you should only use DB cache in this case
   using Memcached and disable the Object Caching.
   In some cases, like yours for
   example, there is no need to enable OC as well as it may slowdown the website.
   you should only keep DB caching enabled.Thanks!

 * Hi [@vmarko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vmarko/), thank you for your
   prompt reply, noted use database cache only. May I know why object cache will
   be slower on my site? Is it a matter of server memory quality or?

 * Hello [@luislu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luislu/)
 * As you can see on the testing page, this test determines how long it takes to
   fetch the object from the storage engine.
   This also depends on the number of 
   objects so in your case, as mentioned before, it’s better to keep this disabled.
   Thanks!
