Note:\u00a0 This presumes you already have a working REDIS server inside your LAN.\u00a0 If you don’t, please see my coming post on how to set up a REDIS virtual machine on HYPER-V.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You will need to install the php REDIS extension.\u00a0 I am using IIS 10 and Windows Server 2022, so I went to this page: https:\/\/pecl.php.net\/package\/redis<\/a> and downloaded 5.3.7 stable (as of 04-2023).<\/li>\n
  2. Extract<\/li>\n
  3. I am on the latest 7.4x build of PHP which is 7.4.33 as of 04-2023.\u00a0 This will supposedly work fine under 8.x but I haven’t tested it inside my environment.<\/li>\n
  4. copy the files pictured below to your PHP EXT folder.\n
      \n
    1. \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    2. Add REDIS information into your wp-config.php file\n
        \n
      1. edit the file<\/li>\n
      2. near the top of the file, add the following<\/li>\n
      3. \n
        \/\/ adjust Redis host and port if necessary\u00a0\r\ndefine( 'WP_REDIS_HOST', 'x.x.x.x' );\r\ndefine( 'WP_REDIS_PORT', 6379 );\r\n\r\n\/\/ change the prefix and database for each site to avoid cache data collisions\r\ndefine( 'WP_REDIS_PREFIX', 'name-of-your-site' );\r\ndefine( 'WP_REDIS_DATABASE', 0 ); \/\/ 0-15\r\n\r\n\/\/ reasonable connection and read+write timeouts\r\ndefine( 'WP_REDIS_TIMEOUT', 1 );\r\ndefine( 'WP_REDIS_READ_TIMEOUT', 1 );\r\ndefine( 'WP_REDIS_SCHEME', 'tcp' );<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
      4. CHANGE the HOST IP to the LAN IP of your REDIS server<\/li>\n
      5. CHANGE the PREFIX to a unique friendly name of your site<\/li>\n
      6. CHANGE DATABASE (a number between 0 and 15, which needs to be unique and for this website only)<\/li>\n
      7. Save changes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      8. Edit your PHP.ini file and add the following line\n
          \n
        1. extension=php_redis.dll<\/li>\n
        2. save<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        3. Go to the WordPress Admin<\/li>\n
        4. Plugins, Add new Plugin<\/li>\n
        5. Search for REDIS<\/li>\n
        6. clock on REDIS OBJECT CACHE, click install<\/li>\n
        7. click Activate<\/li>\n
        8. \u00a0Look at the REDIS plugin\n
            \n
          1. SETTINGS->REDIS<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          2. Hopefully you will see three green checkboxes, which means your REDIS cache is up and running.\n
              \n
            1. \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
            2. If you don’t have three green checkmarks as above, I am available for consultation on your project.\u00a0 Please reach out to me here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
