At RunCloud, our mission has always been to simplify high-performance server management, and we built RunCache as the next logical step in that journey.
RunCache is a powerful WordPress caching plugin born from our deep expertise in server optimization.
It is our comprehensive solution to make your site faster, more scalable, and capable of handling significantly more traffic.
What makes RunCache stand out is that rather than relying on a single caching method, it combines three powerful layers into one seamless plugin:
- Full Page Caching to serve static files instantly
- Redis Object Caching for lightning-fast database queries
- Cloudflare integration to deliver your content from a global edge network.
Our goal was to create a solution that “just works” while still offering deep control for developers. RunCache intelligently handles automatic purging and cache preloading, ensuring your visitors always see fresh content without any manual effort.
It is built to seamlessly handle even the most advanced configurations right out of the box, including complex Multisite networks, resource-intensive Learning Management Systems (LMS), and high-traffic e-commerce stores.
Requirements & Compatibility
While RunCache is deeply optimized for servers managed by RunCloud, it is a truly universal plugin that runs on any server and supercharges any WordPress site running NGINX, Apache, or OpenLiteSpeed.
To ensure optimal performance and compatibility, please make sure your environment meets the following minimum requirements:
- WordPress Version: 5.3 or later
- PHP Version: 7.4 or later
- Web Server: NGINX, Apache, or LiteSpeed / OLS
- Optional: Redis for Object and Page Caching
Key Features
- Full Page Caching: This functionality dramatically improves server response times by storing static HTML versions of your pages. This allows for instant delivery to visitors, bypassing the need to execute PHP or query the database on every page load.
- CDN Integration: You can offload your static assets (images, CSS, JavaScript) to a global network. This ensures your files are served from a location physically closer to your visitors, significantly speeding up load times worldwide.
- Object Cache Support: RunCache uses in-memory caching solutions, such as Redis, to store the results of complex database queries. This drastically reduces the load on your database, leading to a faster WordPress admin dashboard and quicker processing for dynamic, data-intensive operations.
- Automatic Purging and Preloading: RunCache intelligently manages your cache. When you update a post or page, it automatically purges the outdated cache and preloads the new version. This ensures your visitors always receive the fastest possible experience with the most up-to-date content, all without any manual intervention.
- Granular Cache Rules: You can maintain precise control over what gets cached. You can easily exclude specific URLs, cookies, visitor IP addresses, or bot user-agents. RunCache also offers advanced query string management, allowing you to ignore, allow, or exclude specific parameters to tailor the cache perfectly to your application.
