# API caching?

 * Hey Till
 * I’m considering adding [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rest-cache/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rest-cache/)
   to my site to cache api requests. It’s my understanding that wordpress doesn’t
   cache api requests by default.
 * Just wondering if your plugin does any API caching? And if not, do you know if
   they work well together?
 * Cheers!

 * Hey!
 * This plugin actually does nothing by itself, it only provides a backend for WordPress
   and plugins/themes to use.
 * It looks like the WP Rest Cache uses it’s own SQL tables to cache requests. That
   means that there won’t be any conflicts with this plugin, however, it won’t be
   using Redis at all and still query your MySQL database for cached responses.
