Supported Cache Backends

Built-in Django cache backends

• Memcached (django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache) - untested, but should be working.

• Redis (django.core.cache.backends.redis.RedisCache) (New in Django 4.0) - tested, working.

• Database (django.core.cache.backends.db.DatabaseCache) - tested, working.

• Filesystem (django.core.cache.backends.filebased.FileBasedCache) - tested, working.

• Local memory (django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache) - tested, working. But not ideal for production (see Django docs for reasons why).

Note

Wagtail Cache may or may not work correctly with 3rd party backends. If you experience an issue, please report it on our GitHub page.

Note

If you are currently using Redis or have other code that uses a Redis cache, It is advised to use separate cache definitions for wagtail-cache and your other uses.
