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.

Other Notes

Updates

Updates to the plugin will be posted here and the Ukrainian WordPress will always link to the newest version.

Thanks

I would like to thank Lviv for giving me the idea for this and RKG for support.

    Hello.
    My site allows for users to register, however when I installed this plugin I get the “invalid password error” when registering new users.

    When I clear the cache the user is able to login. I have disabled this plugin, but i am hopeful that there is a work around to this as it does speed things up.

    thans.

  6. Chuck says:

    Love the plugin, but I had to deactivate it. I have a similar issue to Mike (03.04.2009 comment). New users can’t register or login. Is this a simple fix on my end, e.g. cache filter?

  7. bebop says:

    is dbcache compatible with wpmu and buddypress ?

  8. bebop says:

    it tried and it did not work

    i am using trunk wpmu 2.7.1 and last trunk buddypress

  9. alex says:

    have you thought of an option to use memcache instead of flat files for the db cache? that could potentially speed up db-cache dramatically over all the extra i/o serialization

  10. Mike says:

    Does anyone know how to allow users to subscribe and still use this plugin without getting an invalid password/username error.

  11. Efox says:

    I think that the following lines should be added to have compability with the lockdown mode of WP-SuperCache.

    function dbc_clear()
    {
    if(defined(’WPLOCKDOWN’) && constant(’WPLOCKDOWN’)) return false;

  12. Priyank says:

    Hi, can this plugin co-exist with WP-Cache2? Sounds kinda redundant but I’m just lazy to remove wp-cache unless it is necessary since it requires some editing.

    Hello:

    Can this plugin co-exist with HyperCache plugin?

    Привет

    Отличный плагин! Не планируете ли вы портировать его для bbpress? Мне кажется это возможно и будет полезным в связи с выходом v1
