If you run a WooCommerce store, you know that speed is everything. Slow websites drive customers away, increase cart abandonment, and drastically cut your revenue streams. Luckily, Redis Cache is the solution for all dynamic e-commerce websites, and the best part is that it is included for FREE with all WPX’s WooCommerce hosting plans.
What Exactly is Redis Cache?
Imagine your favorite coffee shop. You walk in, and instead of waiting in a long line while the barista preps your coffee, they instantly hand you your favorite drink.
That’s Redis in the world of databases. It doesn’t waste time loading queries from scratch; instead, it keeps the hottest, most requested data ready to serve in an instant.
If we have to sound more technical, Redis Cache is an in-memory data store that is often used as a cache to speed up application performance. It stores frequently accessed data in RAM, allowing quick retrieval instead of querying a slower database or API.
Оr, in short, it speeds up your site instantly and saves resources from your hosting plan.
Why WPX Includes Redis Cache For Free in Every WooCommerce Plan
Redis Cache is included for free in our WooCommerce plans, as it is a desired tool for more dynamic and heavy sites, such as online stores (constantly changing products/prices and high traffic from people). The larger your database, the more clumsy the processes are.
With Redis, every saved request to this database is a plus because it leads to a faster site.
Redis is an expensive resource for hosting companies, so it is almost nowhere offered for free or included in the plans. At WPX, we believe performance shouldn’t be a luxury but a standard. That’s why Redis is included for free in all our WooCommerce hosting plans:
What Exactly Is the Speed Impact on My E-commerce Store?
Our comprehensive tests have shown that when Redis is enabled, the number of database queries is significantly reduced (up to 400%), which is a significant improvement. This amplifies website performance and ensures a smoother and more responsive user experience, aligning perfectly with our commitment to speed and performance.

Redis + WPX XDN: The Perfect Duo for your WooCommerce Store
While our custom-built content delivery network (XDN) manages static content like images and scripts, Redis handles dynamic requests like shopping carts and product changes.
Together, they supercharge your WooCommerce store performance and optimize it for the best speeds.
Who Benefits Most?
While Redis is fantastic for all websites, it’s a superhero for online stores. That’s why Redis is exclusively offered for free in our WooCommerce hosting plans and not in the WordPress hosting plans.
Every time a customer:
- Adds a product to their cart
- Changes product variations
- Browses through multiple pages
Redis is working behind the scenes to ensure these interactions are instant.
Conclusion:
Think of Redis Cache as a hyper-efficient assistant for your website. Instead of your server digging through massive databases every time someone clicks a product or checks their cart, Redis creates a lightning-fast, memory-based shortcut.
