Site environment: aaPanel Nginx 1.17 PHP 7.3 Add the following 4 rows to the top of the site configuration. fastcgi_cache_key "$scheme$request_method$host$request_uri"; fastcgi_cache_path /dev/shm/fastcgi-cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=WORDPRESS:100m inactive=60m; fastcgi_cache_use_stale error timeout invalid_header http_500; fastcgi_ignore_headers Cache-Control Expires Set-Cookie; if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } Create a cache directory mkdir /dev/shm/fastcgi-cache Comment php configuration Add the following to the server field If you have ssl turned on, add it below #SSL-END set $skip_cache 0; if ($request_method = POST) { set $skip_cache 1; } if ($query_string != "") { set $skip_cache 1; } if ($request_uri ~* "/wp-admin/|/xmlrpc.php|wp-.*.php|/feed/|index.php|sitemap(_index)?.xml") { set $skip_cache 1; } if ($http_cookie ~* "comment_author|wordpress_[a-f0-9]+|wp-postpass|wordpress_no_cache|wordpress_logged_in") { set $skip_cache 1; } location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-cgi-73.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi.conf; add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000; includeSubdomains; preload"; fastcgi_cache_bypass $skip_cache; fastcgi_no_cache $skip_cache; add_header X-Cache "$upstream_cache_status From $host"; fastcgi_cache WORDPRESS; add_header Cache-Control max-age=0; add_header Nginx-Cache "$upstream_cache_status"; add_header Last-Modified $date_gmt; add_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN; add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff; add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block"; etag on; fastcgi_cache_valid 200 301 302 1d; } location ~ /purge(/.*) { allow 127.0.0.1; allow "change_to_your_server_ip"; deny all; fastcgi_cache_purge WORDPRESS "$scheme$request_method$host$1"; } if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } Install and configure the (Nginx Helper) wp plugin. Since the cache path defined by the plugin author is /var/run/nginx-cache , we may customize the cache path according to the actual situation of the server. As a result, the difference of the cache path will cause the plugin to not find the cache file and delete it! Add the following code to the WordPress wp-config.php file Check whether the configuration takes effect

This is working, however the PURGE does not clear the cache. I have had to manually remove the files from this path to clear the cache: /dev/shm/fastcgi-cache Also let me know, why do we need to comment out PHP Conf files. I am using PHP 7.2 & Nginx 1.16, will there be any difference?

aaPanel_Jose In point number 6 we need to use this code and path to wp-config.php, and then PURGE button of nginx helper will work. define('RT_WP_NGINX_HELPER_CACHE_PATH', '/dev/shm/fastcgi-cache');

When I want to duplicate this procedure on multiple websites, what approach should be used? Since it is giving error message while saving config on another website. nginx: [emerg] "fastcgi_cache_key" directive is duplicate

can you make this as addon or default in next upgrade as cache is most require for wordpress sites

szone So if we need to use fastcgi caching on multiple sites, we need to follow this process: (you need to skip step number 1 from above guide) add the following code to nginx.conf located at this path /www/server/nginx/conf/ fastcgi_cache_key "$scheme$request_method$host$request_uri"; fastcgi_cache_path /dev/shm/fastcgi-cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=WORDPRESS:100m inactive=60m; fastcgi_cache_use_stale error timeout invalid_header http_500; fastcgi_ignore_headers Cache-Control Expires Set-Cookie; if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } And add the following code to each site's config file: set $skip_cache 0; if ($request_method = POST) { set $skip_cache 1; } if ($query_string != "") { set $skip_cache 1; } if ($request_uri ~* "/wp-admin/|/xmlrpc.php|wp-.*.php|/feed/|index.php|sitemap(_index)?.xml") { set $skip_cache 1; } if ($http_cookie ~* "comment_author|wordpress_[a-f0-9]+|wp-postpass|wordpress_no_cache|wordpress_logged_in") { set $skip_cache 1; } location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-cgi-73.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi.conf; add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000; includeSubdomains; preload"; fastcgi_cache_bypass $skip_cache; fastcgi_no_cache $skip_cache; add_header X-Cache "$upstream_cache_status From $host"; fastcgi_cache WORDPRESS; add_header Cache-Control max-age=0; add_header Nginx-Cache "$upstream_cache_status"; add_header Last-Modified $date_gmt; add_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN; add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff; add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block"; etag on; fastcgi_cache_valid 200 301 302 1d; } location ~ /purge(/.*) { allow 127.0.0.1; allow "change_to_your_server_ip"; deny all; fastcgi_cache_purge WORDPRESS "$scheme$request_method$host$1"; } if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); }

szone Yes, the configuration of the first step only needs to be configured once.

JAY I think this configuration can be added with an open button or other methods. We will join the development plan

How to enable fastcgi cache for WordPress with aapanel

After removing the config file from existing setup page is broken.

kamil

I had a problem with that solution because while purging cache the files won't to be deleted.

[deleted]

kamil make sure nginx has permissions over the location.

aapanelmaster

kamil
I commented on this line in user.ini file and purging cache the files work fine
; open_basedir=/www/wwwroot/example.com/:/tmp/:/dev/shm/fastcgi-cache/

aapanelmaster

hgieg try my solution

open file: /www/wwwroot/example.com/.user.ini
comment this line
; open_basedir=/www/wwwroot/example.com/:/tmp/:/dev/shm/fastcgi-cache/

hgieg

aapanelmaster Very tnks!!! I'll do that today and come back later to tell you how it worked.

When I try to add these lines to nginx.conf, I get error messages saying that the settings don't make sense.
Please, could you give a hint on how you managed to make fastcgi work for multiple sites?

hgieg

[deleted]

hgieg they must be in site config.

hgieg

[deleted] Very tnks for the answer.

Yes, this lines in site config work very well in a single site. But if a try to add this lines to a second site, i got this:

@rebel908413 said that works for him, for multiple sites, edit the nginx.conf.

I am missing something? How can i activated fastcgi for multiple sites?

If you guys enable the REDIS, you will probably not be needing FastCGI caching. Just install the PHP extension of REDIS and install the NGINX Helper plugin, and there choose REDIS caching instead of fastcgi. The performance will get much better.

szone
is redis cache supported for WooCommerce sites? I am using wp rocket and it feels great, but im searching for faster load speeds. Site is pretty good loading at 600ms with cache right now.

[deleted]

szone this is tottaly wrong affirmation, nginx side cache, works fine with redis, even opcache, becasue they all do their own caching for different ressources.

szone

[deleted] Well it could work side by side, but my WooCommerce website's performance got much better with REDIS. And I no longer need FastCGI caching, for now.

[deleted]

@hgieg you will have to read what the error says, and take action, if its says something is a duplicate and shows you the files, meaning you need to remove the duplicated line from your site vhost.

noviyanto

Hi, I found some issues on my website using this fastcgi cache.

First I get duplicate response header on my https://example.com/page1, see image.
If I refresh 2x, that will duplicate 3 times, I dont know what happend.

I dont know what happend, another page work just one page give me that error.

amirwap

hi, fastcgi cache has been working fine on my wordpress site, but i have a problem that the cache purge is not working, i can only delete it manually, how can nginx helper be able to purge cache automatically ?

Hamka

aaPanel_Jose Is it mandatory to install the Nginx Helper plugin ???

aaP_imedabolkvadze6

why?

rafamarchetti

aaP_imedabolkvadze6

I also have the same result, were you able to verify it? Any solution?
Thanks!

johnnguyen

After removing the fastcgi cache configuration, I can't access the homepage. When accessing it, the browser automatically downloaded the index.php. How can I solve this problem? @aaPanel_Jose
