Wordpress Best Caching Method for Woocommerce sites

Hi,

I'm thinking the best way to cache ecommerce sites using Woocommerce. I know and I understand many things can't be cache.

---

I'm in the process of building a market place site so I would expect to have more users logged rather than guest users.

So looking at Redis using Nginx Helper I see:

Code:

# Don't use the cache for logged in users or recent commenters
if ($http_cookie ~* "comment_author|wordpress_[a-f0-9]+|wp-postpass|wordpress_no_cache|wordpress_logged_in|edd_items_in_cart|woocommerce_items_in_cart|woocommerce_cart_hash|woocommerce_recently_viewed|wc_session_cookie_HASH|wp_woocommerce_session_|wptouch_switch_toggle") {
  set $skip_cache 1;
}

I understand Centminmod using option 22 uses Redis / KeyCDN however, if I'm not mistaken those are based on full page caching so none of them will work for ecommerce sites, please correct me if I'm wrong.

So I'm thinking the best option will be to use a Caching Plugin that support full page Cache like KeyCDN or WP Rocket (probably this one) this will work for part of the users that are not logged in and combine it with Redis Object Cache using WP Redis Plugin.

Is there any other option taking into consideration most of the users will be logged in and using Woocommerce?

Thank you!
Best Regards

 

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestions

I though Redis Object Cache using WP Redis Plugin might help I believe I will skip it then. I also have seen some issues why modifying things in the backend if enabled.

Yes, I never have used wp-rocket with logged in users + woocommerce I will have to test it.

In regards to a lot of products and search probably I will be using Elastic Search:
ElasticPress

Or maybe Redisearch

Hi,

Thank you for all the suggestions. I believe I will be using WP Rocket too.

I believe WP Rocket has nice features.

I have one more question in regards to WP Rocket. I can think 2 possible ways to implemented:

#1
- Use Nginx Level Redis Cache for Guest customers (not logged in). Full Page Cache
- Once they logged in they will use WP Rocket cache generated for each user

#2
- Use WP Rocket Full Page cache for Guest customers (not logged in). Using SatelliteWP/rocket-nginx
- Once they logged in they will use WP Rocket cache generated for each user

Just wondering which methods are you using?
Also, if you are using rocket-nginx how the vhost file looks like in your environment? If you can share it.

Thank you!
Best Regards
