There are several caches in shopware which can be used to optimize the performance. This page gives a brief overview and shows how to configure them.
The HTTP Cache is a must have for every production system. With enabled cache the performance of the shop can be greatly increased.
The HTTP cache configuration takes place completely in the .env file. The following configurations are available here:
Name | Description |
---|---|
SHOPWARE_HTTP_CACHE_ENABLED |
Enables the http cache |
SHOPWARE_HTTP_DEFAULT_TTL |
Defines the default cache time |
To warm up the HTTP cache you can simply use the console command http:cache:warm:up
. This command sends a message to the message queue for each sales channel domain to warm it up as fast as possible. It is important that queue workers are started according to our message queue.
The standard shopware http cache can be exchanged or reconfigured in several ways. The standard cache comes with an adapter.filesystem
. The configuration can be found in the platform/src/Core/Framework/Resources/config/packages/framework.yaml
file.
framework:
cache:
pools:
cache.http:
adapter: cache.adapter.filesystem
This is a Symfony cache pool configuration and therefore supports all adapters from the Symfony FrameworkBundle.
The app cache defines the default cache adapter for shopware. As you can see in this default configuration every cache-pool in shopware uses the adapter defined in the app
cache as default:
framework:
cache:
prefix_seed: "%kernel.cache.hash%"
app: cache.adapter.filesystem
pools:
cache.object:
default_lifetime: 3600
adapter: cache.app
tags: cache.tags
cache.http:
default_lifetime: 3600
adapter: cache.app
tags: cache.tags
cache.tags:
adapter: cache.app
This is also a Symfony cache configuration and therefore supports all adapters from the Symfony FrameworkBundle.
The object cache pool is used for the caching of the data abstraction layer in shopware and can be configured like any other pool.
"Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache, and message broker." In this example we change the default HTTP cache adapter to redis. It is possible to change every adapter like in this example. A running redis instance is required for this to work. he configuration can be overridden by creating/editing the file framework.yaml
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
cache:
default_redis_provider: 'redis://host:port'
pools:
cache.http:
adapter: cache.adapter.redis
tags: cache.tags
Replace the host
and port
with your redis instance. It is also possible to change the cache adapter for app
which would affect every pool, since they inherit from app
by default:
framework:
cache:
app: cache.adapter.redis
default_redis_provider: 'redis://host:port'
Twig caches all compiled template files by default. With the cache
option a directory can be defined, where twig saves the compiled templates. This path can be overridden by creating/editing a twig.yaml
:
# config/packages/twig.yaml
twig:
cache: '%kernel.cache_dir%/twig'
