Mega Cache

Description

This plugin offers a powerful page caching solution compatible with various cache types, including APCu, Redis, Memcached, MariaDB, MySQL, and File.
Page caching stores an entire page’s content on the server, allowing it to be quickly served from the cache upon repeat requests, rather than being regenerated from scratch.

It installs a drop-in that works with WP_CACHE so repeat visitors can receive a full HTML response before WordPress boots the full stack. You choose the storage backend in settings; the plugin keeps cache keys and invalidation aligned between the drop-in and WordPress (saves, terms, WooCommerce product updates where applicable).

Optional cache statistics and debug views help you verify hits, skips, and storage during testing. Logged-in users, WooCommerce session/cart cookies, and other unsafe states are excluded from the public page cache so personalized views are not shared by mistake.

Amazing Fast Cache

By astraweb01 on December 14, 2025

Great caching plugin. It is very light and it just does its work. I am using it with Apcu for object cache and file for cache storage and it is amazingly fast! My VPS is thanking you!

Solid, needs some polishing

Hey Chris, when setting a potentially faulty redis config, the plugin breaks

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function setOption() on null in pathtowordpress/plugins/mega-cache/includes/atec-wpmc-connect-redis.php:30

Here's the problematic line:

if (($rdSettings['serializer']??0)!==0) @$atec_wpmc_source['redis']->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, $rdSettings['serializer']);

A Redis option (Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER) is only set if the 'serializer' key exists and isn't 0 in$rdSettings, but if the Redis connection doesn't succeed due to a bad config, then$atec_wpmc_source['redis'] will be set to null within that catch block, so the plugin should only set the option if the Redis connection was successful, like if $atec_wpmc_source['redis'] isnt null

You will not find anything faster!

I've tried many cache plugins over the years and nothing comes even close! Hands down the fastest page caching plugin on the market! Run some speed tests and compare for yourself...you will not be disappointed!

Excellent plugin, excellent support

Works as promised

By b8europe on December 17, 2024

This plugin does exactly what it promises. It speeds up WordPress. Support is quick and really good.

Ultra Fast

By docjojo on November 28, 2024

This is the fastest Page Cache Plugin out there. It supports 8 storage options but is still a lightweight plugin.

Configuration is simple: Choose a storage option and turn on the page cache – that's it.
Memcached and Redis are very popular but APCu is the fastest cache option supported by this plugin.

A great feature is the integrated statistics to compare the performance and savings.
