DB Cache plugin

The fastest cache engine for WordPress, that produces cache of database queries with easy configuration.

Description

This plugin caches every database query with given lifetime. It is much faster than other html caching plugins and uses less disk space for caching.

I think you’ve heard of WP-Cache or WP Super Cache, they are both top plugins for WordPress, which make your site faster and responsive. Forget about them – with DB Cache your site will work much faster and will use less disk space for cached files. Your visitors will always get actual information in sidebars and server CPU loads will be as low as posible.

See the DB Cache homepage for further information.

Installation

1. You should upload the db-cache folder to your wp-content/plugins
2. Go to your Plugins page and activate “DB Cache”
3. Now go to Settings->DB Cache and enable caching of DB queries. The plugin will create wp-content/tmp folder and db.php file for serving cached queries in wp-content folder.

That’s all! Enjoy the speed of loading pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know my blog is being cached?

Check your cache directory wp-content/tmp/ for cache files.

How can I ensure of reducing server usage?

View the source of your site page, there maybe some code like this at the foot:

<!– 00 queries. 00 seconds. –>

If not, please put these codes in your footer template:

<!– <?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries. <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds. –>

After using the DB Cache, I think you’ll find the number of ‘queries’ reducing a lot.

Why is DB Cache better than WP Super Cache?

This plugin is based on a fundamentally different principle of caching queries to database instead of full pages, which optimizes WordPress from the very beginning and uses less disk space for cache files because it saves only useful information.
It saves information separately and also caches hidden requests to database.

Troubleshooting

Make sure wp-content is writeable by the web server. If not you’ll need to chmod wp-content folder for writing and also config.ini file in plugin folder.

How do I uninstall DB Cache?

1. Disable it at Settings->DB Cache page. The plugin will automatically delete all cache files.
2. Deactivate it at plugins page.
