How do I enable Redis?

Redis is included with all Business Hosting and Managed WordPress plans.

The Redis socket for your account is located at /home/{username}/.cagefs/tmp/redis.sock

If the socket doesn’t exist, please open a ticket to get it activated.

LS Cache Configuration

In the LSCache WordPress plugin, go to the Cache menu.

Under the Object tab, enter the following configuration.

Remember to set the Port field to 0. This is because the Redis connection is via a socket.

You should change the /home/user1 path to match your hosting account. You can find this in the General Information panel in cPanel, under Home Directory:
