[wjq588jk]

I have use a VPS to build a website,and use the Kloxo to control.The service provider told me that he have already installed Zend OPcache for the php speed up.

For the ps Caching,it is default have Memcached, APC, XCache and File system,not have other options.So is it possible have a way to use the Zend OPcache for the ps store speed up,please? And how ?

Thanks.

Zend OPcache is a pure PHP opcode cache. It does not implement any of the caching frameworks supported by Prestashop.

Zend OPcache is a different type of cache. This type of cache once installed and enabled works by caching compiled PHP code.

 

It a fantastic addition to your PHP environment. But it is not controlled by Prestashop. It is an add on to your PHP environment and once installed can be enabled or disabled VIA your php.ini file. 

 

Another similar cache is the Smarty cache that caches compiled template .tpl files. You can enable or disable here,

The Memcached type of caching is a separate program that works with your web server and will attempt to cache everything from pages to images. This type of cache is very hard to setup and actually in my opinion "useless" for a shopping cart. The type of problem that can happen with this type of cache is when a customer adds an item their cart, the cache may not update properly. This type of cache is best for static content, not shopping carts.

 

There are some excellent additional cache modules available in the add-on store, some of these type of cache modules create html from static portions of your output. They also control the users browser cache.
