In this guide, we’re going to use the free extension W3 Total Cache to configure WordPress with Memcached.

If you’re already using another extension such as WP Super Cache, you’ll need to deactivate this and install the W3 Cache in order to follow this guide.

Here are the steps to follow to configure W3 Total Cache with Memcached:

1. Sign in to your WordPress dashboard
2. In the main menu, go to Performance then click on General Settings
3.  Activate Memcached for the following options:

– Page Cache Method
– Minify Cache method
– Database cache method

-> Save the settings

For Memcached hostname:port / IP:port use: /home/sys/memcached.sock:0

Save the settings and you’ve successfully enabled memcached on your WordPress website.
