Difference between Pro and Free?

    Hi, I was evaluating Redis Object Cache for a Woocommerce site and I’m wondering about the expectations I could have on the Pro version. The information on the site is very sparse.

    * Is the Pro a completely different codebase?
    * Will the Pro version cache more “stuff” than the free version? Right now I’m seeing a drop of about 70% of the SQL queries. Would the Pro version do better, especially with the woocommerce part?
    * Do you need to adapt implementation of custom data-fetching in order to benefit from this caching, or will it actually intercept the wordpress datalayer and cache stuff automatically?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi @jishimi,

    You’re not the first to ask that question. I’ll make a separate page for it going into detail.

    Is the Pro a completely different codebase?

    Yes. Written from the ground up, optimized and unit tested with 100% coverage.

    Will the Pro version cache more “stuff” than the free version? Right now I’m seeing a drop of about 70% of the SQL queries. Would the Pro version do better, especially with the woocommerce part?

    The early testing of the Pro version showed up to a 35% increase in cache hits for WC subscriptions renewals, but on average it’s about 10%. That number highly depends on your setup, tho.

    The major advantage of the Pro version is that it’s reliable, I can’t say that about the free version sadly.

    Do you need to adapt implementation of custom data-fetching in order to benefit from this caching, or will it actually intercept the wordpress datalayer and cache stuff automatically?

    The plugin provides an object cache interface for the wp_cache_* functions that WordPress and plugins like WooCommerce use. You can use those functions for custom data-fetching as well.

    Thank you very much for this answer! I guess I should just evaluate the paid version to see how it fares.
