The Statistics page of CachePilot and the response header of a cached page, both from the test installation.
How we measured
Setup. A live WooCommerce store with WPML, WooCommerce Multilingual and Elementor, with Redis on the same server. Visitors were not affected: the plugin under test was switched for test requests only.
Page cache. Time to first byte of pages served from the CachePilot page cache: 33 to 54 ms.
Object cache. Server time of uncached requests, front end and back end, CachePilot against Redis Object Cache 3.0.0. 11 rounds, the median counts. Misses and database queries were counted per request.
Redis commands. Commands per uncached request before and after the prefetch rework of November 2026: 960 to 195 on the home page, 691 to 61 on a shop page.
