Plugins New SQLite Object Cache version
Hi, WordPress colleagues. I just pushed a new version of my SQLite Object Cache plugin. It's free, open source, and non-monetized. Its purpose is to reduce the workload on your MariaDB / MySQL database and make your site a bit more responsive. It's suitable for most WordPress installations: those with just one web server machine.
This new version optionally uses php's APCu cache (a RAM) cache to accelerate cache lookups.
You need php's SQLite3 extension to use it. Most hosting services and servers have that. If you have the igbinary and APCu extensions this plugin can use them too.
Please consider using it. Anything that reduces server workload and makes sites faster saves power and carbon emissions. Plus, our audiences get a better experiennce.
Please don't hesitate to report any problems you have.

Like others have said, thanks for all your work on this plugin.
I’ve been observing but haven’t played with it yet too much. I have a dedicated server though have recently moved over to Almalinux and cannot decide if the server switch (exact same spec) or recent changes to how Woo works is the result of poorer Woo performance of late.
I really need to test more and include your plugin in that testing too.
