\"\"If your running PHP on Windows and using PHP 5.5+ including PHP 7+ the Zend OPcache comes built in by default but isn’t enabled.<\/p>\n

You will get massive improvements on any sequential execution of a PHP pages and there is really no reason not to use the Zend OPcache.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So lets enable the PHP OPcache and gain a whole lot of PHP speed!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

  1. Open your PHP.INI file in a text editor like notepad. Depending how you installed PHP with could be in your program files under the php version but it could be easier to just find it.<\/li>\n
  2. Check that the extension directory is configured by making sure that “extension_dir” has been set. Typically this line should read:\u00a0extension_dir = “ext”<\/li>\n
  3. Go the the end of the PHP and on a new line add:\u00a0zend_extension=php_opcache.dll<\/li>\n
  4. Restart IIS or Apache<\/li>\n
  5. Enjoy faster PHP<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You may want to confirm that the above has worked and the easiest way to do this is by creating a PHPInfo file<\/a> and confirming that “with Zend OPcache” is shown under the Zend Engine line.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    And further down the page\u00a0the “Zend OPcache”\u00a0section should now exist and show that it’s “Up and Running” like below:
    \n\"\"<\/p>\n

    There are also lots of other good stats shown, as you refresh the cached pages this section (after a refresh) will show stats on how well the OPcache is working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
