Performance Recommendations

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

• Use a high performance cache backend for Pimcore (Redis is recommended).
• Enable the output-cache in Settings > System.
• Install and setup varnish cache (Pimcore sends already the right headers for varnish => ouput-cache lifetime, ... ).
• Only use sessions when really necessary. The Pimcore Output-Cache detects the usage of sessions in the code and disables itself if necessary.
• Tuning your MySQL 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.
