Caching

FlyWP provides multiple layers of caching to keep your WordPress sites fast.

FastCGI Cache

FastCGI cache stores fully rendered pages at the Nginx level, bypassing PHP entirely for cached requests. This is the most impactful performance optimization available.

To enable FastCGI cache for a site:

1. Go to Site Dashboard → Caching
2. Toggle FastCGI Cache on
3. Set the cache duration (default: 2 hours)

Cache Exclusions

By default, FlyWP excludes these paths from caching:

• /wp-admin/ and wp-login.php
• WooCommerce cart, checkout, and account pages
• Any request with a wordpress_logged_in_* cookie
• POST requests

Purging the Cache

You can purge the cache manually from the site dashboard, or install the FlyWP Helper plugin for automatic purging when content is updated.

Redis Object Cache

Redis caches database queries and object data, reducing MySQL load on dynamic pages.

1. Ensure Redis is running on your server (enabled by default)
2. Go to Site Dashboard → Caching
3. Toggle Object Cache on

FlyWP will install and configure the Redis object cache drop-in automatically.
