Docket Cache

Speed up your WordPress site with a persistent object cache, powered by OPcache. An efficient alternative to Redis and Memcached.

Description

Docket Cache is a persistent WordPress Object Cache that stores cached data as plain PHP code. It is designed as an alternative for sites that do not have access to Redis or Memcached.

Most file-based caching plugins use serialize and unserialize to save PHP objects to flat files. Docket Cache takes a different approach by converting objects into plain PHP code. This makes data retrieval faster and improves overall performance, especially when Zend OPcache is enabled.
