 * I don’t understand why redis and memcached perform poorly when I test with w3
   total cache. No problems with installations or configurations. As you can see
   from the attached pictures, should I choose none in this case?

 * Hello [@teminet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/teminet/)
 * Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
   In the case you are mentioning,
   there is not much any caching method can do to improve the time of 0.00234sThe
   setup guide shows the results and in this case, it’s much faster to fetch objects
   from the DB directly, than to save and fetch them from memory/disk.
 * Please note that the time is set in milliseconds and not seconds and as I’ve 
   mentioned before, not much can top 2.34ms
 * Are you experiencing the same problem with Page Cache for example?
 * Thanks!

 * Thank you very much for your interest.
 * Page cache and database cache tests are as shown in the attached images and there
   does not seem to be much of a problem.

 * In fact, I attribute the reason why redis and memcached lost the fight in the
   Object Cache test to the fact that there is no traffic on the site at the moment.
   I wonder if I’m right? I think they will perform better when traffic increases.
   So, in the current situation, does it make more sense to choose none for object
   cache?

 * Hello [@teminet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/teminet/)
 * Thank you for your feedback.
   As you can see, the impact is huge when it comes
   to Page caching and DB caching in your case.
 * Every website is different and Object Caching is not necessarily what you should
   focus on. In this case, you should keep OC disabled and once you start getting
   some traffic, re-test this and check the information provided by the guide. You
   can always make adjustments to the configuration
 * Thanks!
