Driver Configuration

Speedy has some drivers that are configurable, thus they require extra configuration. The Redis and Memcached drivers require server connections. All configurable drivers have a control panel page to manage their settings, however, you can also manage those settings in your config.php file. Below are examples of config file overrides for the Static and Redis drivers.

The Static driver does not have configuration, other than speedy_static_path and speedy_static_enabled, but you may choose to define some url paths that are to be ignored when caching. Note that ignores can be valid regular expressions.

$config['speedy_static_settings'] = [
    'ignore_urls' => [
        ['url' => 'invalid/page'],
        ['url' => '^[a-z]{2}/products'],
        ['url' => '^products/.*'],
    ],
];

The Redis driver has additional configuration to manage it's connection to the Redis server. Note that Speedy currently only supports 1 Redis server.

$config['speedy_redis_settings'] = [
    'static' => 'yes',
    'servers' => [
        [
            'host' => '127.0.0.1',
            'port' => '6379',
            'timeout' => '0',
            'password' => null,
            
            // These are optinal values if you're
            // using a more advanced setup.
            'database' => '',
            'prefix' => '',
        ]
    ],
    'ignore_urls' => [
        ['url' => 'invalid/page'],
        ['url' => '^[a-z]{2}/products'],
        ['url' => '^products/.*'],
    ],
];

Similarly, the Memcached settings can be managed in your config file as well.

$config['speedy_memcached_settings'] = [
    'persistent' => 'yes',
    'servers' => [
        [
            'host' => '127.0.0.1',
            'port' => '6379',
            'weight' => '0',
        ]
    ],
];
