How to Install Redis on Ubuntu Linux, WordPress Object Cache Redis

My favorite caching solution lately is Redis. It is crazy efficient and fast.

I am using Redis on Ubuntu 20.04 with PHP 7.4.    It works with WordPress like candy…

 

 

I use Ubuntu so in Ubuntu SSH or any other Debian distro really just uses these commands;

 

First

apt install redis-server

 

then

apt install php-redis

 

start the Redis

service redis-server start

 

don’t forget to add/open Redis port on the firewall

ufw allow 6379

 

and check if it is working and enabled

service redis-server status

That’s it.

 

Use a Redis-supported Plugin for WordPress. I recommend the Lite Speed Cache plugin.

 

Done.
