Our exclusive A2 Optimized Site Accelerator is a cPanel plugin providing pre-configured caching for your applications from a single interface for even faster page loads. Caching options include:
- Turbo Cache – The entire HTML contents of a page is stored by Turbo Cache and served without running PHP for up to 20X faster page loads.
- Memcached – Increases the speed of your MySQL databases by keeping your most important data in memory for quicker retrieval.
- OPcache – Dramatically improves PHP performance by storing scripts in shared memory instead of requiring PHP to load and parse scripts for each request.
- Object Caching using Redis – Object caching is the preferred form of caching for WordPress sites. Redis is a way of caching, where separate from traditional caching methods, it caches the individual parts so it’s quicker to grab again the next time, speeding up page load times.
- Powered by Turbo Cache
- Powered by OPcache
- Object Caching using Redis or Memcached
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are major revisions to the HTTP network protocol and are included with all Turbo plans. HTTP/3 provides significantly faster page load times than HTTP because of its ability to deliver more HTTP requests at once and prioritize those requests. HTTP/3 delivers files 20%-30% faster than HTTP.
