You *can* use Xcache but it’s very experimental. I don’t use it as it’s not good enough for production use.
So Donncha, if you don’t use xCache and it’s not good for production use, why does your Super Cache plugin have a built-in link recommending the xCache for WP plugin? I followed your recommendation like a fool…
It’s under the “Easy” tab, with the headline “Recommended Links and Plugins”, number 6 says “Advanced users only: Install an object cache. Choose from Memcached, XCache, eAcccelerator and others.”
By the way, I upgraded to the latest version of SuperCache (v1.0) and it gave me the blank screen of death… looks like it does not like Nginx or something.
You can use the Xcache object cache to cache queries and generated variables which is different to using it for WP Super Cache. For that it’s fine, I should really just make it harder to use for WP Super Cache to discourage casual use of it though as it needs someone to look at and develop.
Thanks for your reply.
I still have various issues with SuperCache, but there is no doubt it is a great plugin, take a look at this graph and be proud: your plugin handles 8 thousand simultaneous connections on a single el-cheapo $59 euro/month server! Notice how green the graph is, Donncha like it? Happy St. Patrick’s my friend!
