oxwall mem cache? | Forum

does oxwall support a memory cache? my server load is heavy and after talking to several reliable sources they have all confirmed that my issue is that my site has no cache active they suggested me to ask you guys if this can be activated?

in theory it should be fine, ive had many different caches installed on my vps, they showed no sign of interference however did not make much improvements to the speed and performance of the site due to the fact that oxwall caches most things already.

well according to the technician at my server oxwall is not caching in fact my hard drive and db are taking a severe beating because its not

have a look in the /ow_smarty/template_c/


thats where the cached files are, you could also use mod_expires so that files are cached by browsers and not re-downloaded each time a user visits.


you can also use gzip and zlib compression and output buffering, also recommended is eaccelrator
