I use PHP 7.1 and my host doesn’t offer Memcache, only Memcached. Also files must be copied manually to wp-content. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1682c6b035e680817e3dd842ab5a0d153f49cb91da8806cded7c9559561327d1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Just great.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-great-172/)󠁿 [Zack Katz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/katzwebdesign/) September 3, 2016 This plugin has no settings. Zero. It Just Works. Running it on my eCommerce website and not a single problem. Faster admin, just as fast front-end as running W3 Total Cache, and I don’t need to tweak settings. Thanks @JJJ!
