Object/Database cache together with CDN?

    Hi there

    I’m just wondering whether using Object-/Database caching while using a CDN will benefit anything?

    I believe that database- & object caching is being cached at the server – but then it won’t be cached at the CDN, will it? I’m using KeyCDN as my CDN without any DNS forward/setting changes, so I believe that all they are caching is the ressources requested by visitors – correct me if i’m wrong – and thereby they shouldn’t have access to the .htaccess file or the server?

    Looking forward to a possible answer 🙂
    Please do note that I dont have any former experience on this area; i’m just wondering :b

    Typically object and database caching are best handled with APC so they are loaded in memory.

    Which Means? 😀
    Could you elaborate a bit please, as I barely know anything about servers for website’s and etc.

    Should I avoid database cache and object cache while using a CDN, will it improve the speeds, or doesnt it matter?

    Typically you would use Database caching for an eCommerce type of website and object caching for BuddyPress type websites as this is the recommendation for both.

    That being said if you aren’t using these technologies and don’t know what they are then its best to avoid them.
