Enable Redis for cache and queues

Enable Redis for cache and queues

Redis is a fast in-memory store used for caching, sessions and queues. It can make apps like Laravel, Magento and WordPress noticeably faster.

Steps

  1. Open your server and go to the Redis section.
  2. Install Redis. The panel sets it up and starts the service.
  3. Point your application at Redis — for Laravel, set the cache, session and queue drivers to redis in your .env.

What to use it for

  • Cache — store computed data and query results in memory.
  • Sessions — faster and more scalable than file sessions.
  • Queues — back your background workers with Redis.

Manage the service

Start, stop and check Redis status from the panel. Combined with background workers, Redis gives you a solid foundation for high-performance apps.
