APCu statistics and management right in the WordPress admin dashboard.

APCu Manager offers a persistent object cache backend to WordPress: just activate the option in the settings and you will experience a real speed up of your site or network.

APCu Manager is a full featured APCu management and analytics reporting tool. It allows you to monitor and optimize APCu operations on your WordPress site or network.

APCu Manager works on dedicated or shared servers. It is compatible with all plugins using WordPress object caching. Its main management features are:

  • drop-in replacement for WordPress object caching;
  • individual object deletion;
  • bulk object deletion;
  • objects browsing and inspecting;
  • smart garbage collection;
  • full cache clearing.

⚠️ APCu Manager doesn’t work on PHP clustered environments!

APCu Manager is also a full featured analytics reporting tool that analyzes all APCu operations on your site. It can report:

  • KPIs: hit ratio, free memory, cached objects, keys saturation, memory fragmentation and availability;
  • metrics variations;
  • metrics distributions;
  • plugins consumption.

APCu Manager supports multisite report delegation (see FAQ).

APCu Manager supports a set of WP-CLI commands to:

  • toggle on/off main settings – see wp help apcu settings for details;
  • obtain operational statistics – see wp help apcu analytics for details.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the requirements for this plugin to work?

You need APCu enabled on your server.

Can this plugin work on multisite?

Yes. It is designed to work on multisite too. Network Admins can configure the plugin, use management tools and have access to analytics reports. Sites Admins have only access to analytics reports.

What are the requirements for statistics to work?

You need to have a fully operational WordPress cron. If you’ve set an external cron (crontab, online cron, etc.), its frequency must be less than 5 minutes – 1 or 2 minutes is a recommended value.

Where can I get support?

Support is provided via the official WordPress page. Because I am human myself, please note that I only answer to support requests made by humans, who behave like humans. This excludes requests or bug reports written by AI or those that do not adhere to basic rules of courtesy.

Where can I report a bug?

You can report bugs and suggest ideas via the GitHub issue tracker of the plugin.
