Useful when you don’t have Memcache, Opcache, Redis… Now I moved to a VPS and still does a great job and now combined with your OPcache Manager. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/42fbe0a099d77369755e130a79f650032ea144f721582a15f43cedccb86af495? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Deserved](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deserved/)󠁿 [Vincent Vu](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rubixvi/) June 9, 2025 1 reply Well done mate, something that actually works well with ACPU. Clients on shared spaces, without hosting that provides Redis or Memcache without utilising an external server. This is great, installed and it works. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/73aa8be4e42d5210049dd3c8510458c367301e51acc63ce35d65ee6046c25781? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-support-925/)󠁿 [squaleforce](https://profiles.wordpress.org/squaleforce/) April 15, 2025 1 reply This plugin is awesome and the support is amazing. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3f6a415b6ac78e385b085ef8c156026f4be4f174aaf4b980aec989dd6e8e2c3f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[APCu Manager Plugin Rocks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/apcu-manager-plugin-rocks/)󠁿 [pnutb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pnutb/) March 21, 2025 1 reply *Using this, with the free LiteSpeed Cache plugin set on the middle preset, on a LiteSpeed enabled server. Website currently hosted on Kualo. (A UK renewable energy shared server) It took my website from decent speed to boom! lightning fast! After a lot of tweaking to attain 100s across the board on PageSpeed Insights on both Mobile and Desktop, both my site’s home and 2nd most important page not only excel for Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO, but now are consistently loading much faster because of this plugin. I knew enabling a persistent cache object was a good thing but didn’t want to upgrade my hosting bill as my site is just a hobby site. But after seeing the nag about it in WP’s Site Health I took another search and found an article about the plugin and how easy it was to install and get going. Desktop loading in around 0.5 secs now instead of 1.5 before installing APCu Manager Plugin. Highly reco trying this plugin to anyone already using LSCache. The site speed difference it made for my site is awesome. –Thank you APCu Manager! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4072d6274a9810d862fb88745104ce28734523f3f40415a31181c2c21e164e08? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple, useful and efficient](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-useful-and-efficient/)󠁿 [Bonaldi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bonaldi/) July 3, 2024 1 reply These are certainly the 3 main characteristics of this excellent extension.I recommend it without hesitation.Thank you, Pierre.
