 * Does WP Super Cache use an object cache like apcu? If so, where can it be enabled
   in the plugin settings?

 * It does not. There’s a bit more information about this here:

 * [@cena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cena/): Thanks for your reply. So
   it seems that when WP states having “APCu” available as object cache, there are
   still additional server-side requirements to be met?

 * [@tobiaseichner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiaseichner/)
 * That’s correct. To use APCu as an object cache with WordPress, you will need 
   to have the APCu PHP extension installed on your server, as well as a recent 
   version of PHP that is compatible with the extension. In addition, you will need
   to configure your server to allocate sufficient memory to APCu to ensure that
   it can effectively cache your WordPress content.

 * [@bruceallen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bruceallen/): Thanks for your
   reply. PHP 8.1.16 is installed, APCu extension is installed and configured as
   well.
 * However, what kind of plugin is needed to make use of it (ideally, it should 
   be compatible with WP Super Cache)? My search in the plugin repository was not
   really successful.

 * Hello [@tobiaseichner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiaseichner/),
 * Thanks for getting back to us.

 * We can’t exactly recommend or vouch for a particular third-party plugin.
 * However, if you want to find a plugin that is compatible with WP Super Cache 
   and supports APCu caching, you can try using search queries in the [WordPress.org plugin repository](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
   like “APCu caching” and also try to refine your query by including additional
   keywords related to your specific scenario.
 * Once you settle on a particular plugin, you might need to reach out the plugin
   authors or search in their support forums to check if there are any reported 
   compatibility issues with WP Super Cache.
 * Hope this helps!
 *  Best,
