This add-on uses Credis with a custom cache provider for Redis (based off Cm_Cache_Backend_Redis). For best performance, install the php extension: phpredis

You must have a Redis instance installed, this is likely not possible with shared hosting

While XenForo 2 has a redis connector, it requires phpredis. This add-on does not.

Feature overview
  • A pure php redis connector
  • High availability support
  • Exposes redis cache object for use for use by other add-ons
  • Implements some minor caching of forum thread counts
Troubleshooting

Please be aware that Redis is very sensitive to latency in a virtual environment. If repeated connection failures or protocol errors are experienced disable any Redis Persistence options.

Read Scaling

With the $config['cache']['config']['load_from_replica'] option, reads can be deferred to a singular replica instance. This takes all the options of 'config' (except the replicaconfig)

See the FAQ for configuration samples.

High availability

The Zend component support primary/replica setups with Redis Sentinel support. It does not support Redis multi-master clustering.
  • Additionally, this add-on implement caching of thread counts in a forum.
  • Redis Sentinel support for high-availability (see FAQ for details).
