Really fast

    This plugin made a huge speed improvement in our Pods-based site hosted on WP Engine. That’s impressive considering WP Engine already provides server-side caching.

    Our site has highly-connected Pods relationships resulting in hundreds of database calls per page. Our initial experience with the Pods Alternative Cache is it takes longer to generate uncached pages, but once they’re cached they’re lightning fast.

    The next release fixes some more WPEngine compatibility, should make things a bit more faster.

    Thanks Scott. We’re considering a move away from WP Engine – plan on using W3 Total Cache on a VPS, and if Pods Alternative Cache adds speed to that, so much the better.

    Our site doesn’t get high traffic, but we have lots of relationships in the data, so there are a lot of database lookups on every page. WP Engine flushes the page cache every 10 minutes and only regenerates the homepage; inside pages wait for a visit to re-cache them, so most of our visitors are the first and have to wait. That’s what’s going on near as we can tell from our testing and talking to the WP Engine folks.

    In any case, Pods Alternative Cache is part of our arsenal.
