   but is it already introduced?

 * Hello [@sinorgpl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sinorgpl/)
 * Thank you for your inquiry and I m happy to assist you with this.
    Yes, it’s 
   been some time since that topic and I am afraid there were some more urgent issues
   to attend to. I’ve opened a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/W3EDGE/w3-total-cache/issues/319)
   on your behalf in your GitHub repository. Please make sure to track the progress
   of the issue on regular basis and feel free to comment if you wish to add more
   details. Thanks!

 * Hello [@sinorgpl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sinorgpl/)
 * Thank you for your patience.
    [W3 Total Cache supports Redis Unix socket](https://github.com/W3EDGE/w3-total-cache/wiki/FAQ:-Installation:-Redis-Server#redis-socket-support).
   All you need to replace the default hostname with a Redis Unix socket (usually/`
   var/run/redis/redis.sock` or `/var/run/redis/redis.sock:0`)
