I hear a lot of time that people complaints about “Magento is very slow”. In my opinion Magento is not a good solution if you are hosting it in a Shared environment, If you’ve a dedicated server then YES, use it otherwise just use baby e-commerce software available online.
This article will focus on configuring and using APC and/or Memcached.
I am sharing my local.xml file.
Look for <cache>, But before you even do any of that, you need to make sure you’ve Memcached & Apc installed and configure.
Revision Feb-15-2016
The (last) version 5.1.2 of APCu don’t support PHP5 (only PHP7) so you need to set a specific version instead of beta tag :
sudo apt-get install php-pear php5-dev make libpcre3-dev php5 memcache memcached php-pear pecl install apcu-4.0.10 && echo extension=apcu.so > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/apcu.ini
