Performance Recommendations

For high traffic websites, we recommend the following software and configurations:

• Use Redis cache backend
• Enable the full-page cache in Settings > System.
• Install and setup Varnish cache and make use of ESI (Pimcore sends the right headers for Varnish if full-page cache is enabled).
• Only use sessions when really necessary. The Pimcore full-page cache detects the usage of sessions in the code and disables itself if necessary.
• Tuning your database configuration to exactly fit the needs of your application.
  • mysqltuner.pl
  • mysqlprimer
  • MariaDB / Percona Server (if improvements are expected => test it on your stage-environment).
• Make use of in-template caching.
