SnapCache

A high-performance persistent object cache powered by Memcached.

Jeffrey Schutzman

<p>Memcached Object Cache provides a persistent backend for the WordPress object cache. A memcached server and either the<br />
the PECL Memcached or PECL Memcache extension and class are required.  Detects either the PECL Memecache or PECL<br />
Memcached (Memcached preferred) class and uses the appropriate interface. That means you don’t need to figure out<br />
which PHP class is available in your installation, the plugin will detect the proper configuration.</p>
<p>This plugin does not require manual copying of files between directories for installation, and it doesn’t require the installer<br />
to differentiate between the memcache and memcached PECL extensions if they know their host makes once available.</p>
<p>Also, because this plugin autodetects the PECL extension available, for those that develop on Windows where the<br />
PECL Memcached extension is not generally available, you can maintain a common configuration with your Linux host<br />
where that extension is common.</p>
<p>Plugin creates a dashboard menu option under “Tools” where you can view your memcached statistics.</p>
<p>Plugin is based laregly on previous works by Matt Martz, Ryan Boren (https://wordpress.org/plugins/memcached/) and<br />
