Description
Google App Engine for WordPress enables seamless operation of your
WordPress-powered site on the App Engine PHP runtime.
This plugin adds overrides to core functionality in WordPress to use App Engine
infrastructure, such as the Mail functionality, and uploading media to Google
Cloud Storage
Note: This plugin is designed to be used with Google App Engine only and will not work with any other hosting.
Caching
We recommend using the Batcache and Memcache drop-ins to cache your
WordPress site. Batcache integrates with Memcache to cache your site on the App
Engine memcache server and will ensure that CloudSQL is used as little as
possible, reducing your costs.
If you host a rarely updated site, we suggest adding the following configuration
to your wp-config.php:
$batcache = [
'seconds' => 0,
'max_age' => 60 * 30, // 30 minutes.
];
This will cache pages on your site for a year and ensure that they do not expire
in memcache. With this setup and a fully primed cache, all anonymous users will
be served via Memcache with no hits to CloudSQL.
Note that using WordPress’ built-in comments will enable commenters to bypass
the cache, so if you want to use comments on a fully-cached site, we recommend
Intense Debate or Disqus (with the synchronization disabled).
