APCu Manager

Description

APCu statistics and management right in the WordPress admin dashboard.

APCu Manager is a full featured APCu management and analytics reporting tool. It allows you to monitor and optimize APCu operations on your WordPress site or network.

APCu Manager offers a persistent object cache backend to WordPress: just activate the option in the settings and you will experience a real speed up of your site or network.

APCu Manager works on dedicated or shared servers. It is compatible with all plugins using APCu, like PerfOps One suite or W3 Total Cache. Its main management features are:

  • drop-in replacement for WordPress object caching;
  • individual object deletion;
  • bulk object deletion;
  • objects browsing and inspecting;
  • smart garbage collection;
  • full cache clearing.

⚠️ APCu Manager doesn’t work on PHP clustered environments!

APCu Manager is also a full featured analytics reporting tool that analyzes all APCu operations on your site. It can report:

  • KPIs: hit ratio, free memory, cached objects, keys saturation, memory fragmentation and availability;
  • metrics variations;
  • metrics distributions;
  • plugins consumption.

APCu Manager supports multisite report delegation (see FAQ).

APCu Manager supports a set of WP-CLI commands to:

  • toggle on/off main settings – see wp help apcu settings for details;
  • obtain operational statistics – see wp help apcu analytics for details.

For a full help on WP-CLI commands in APCu Manager, please read this guide.

I was using Redis Object Cache Pro earlier. I wanted to always try APCu rather than Redis/Memcached. I found this awesome ultimate performer for the Object Caching. I did 10s of benchmarks, and I have to say – this has a killer speed as compared to the PAID Redis implementation. I have to say this again – “APCu Manager” is Extremely fast as compared to Redis Object cache Pro and it is FREE. God bless. Thanks much.
