Cache and CDN

[Brian]

What preparation needs to be made to a highly-cached hosting environment, like WPEngine hosting? Also, any issues with using a CDN in that or similar environment?

Thanks!

Hi Brian,

Generally speaking it should “just work” 🙂

Since our core product – The Events Calendar – is freely available (and our other event plugins build on its foundations) why not take it for a spin in your target environment?

Thanks!

[Brian]

Are there any issues with upgrading to the Pro version after using the free version first?

[Barry]

While it adds new capabilities it doesn’t have any additional requirements beyond those of our core plugin – so you should be good 🙂

Where I’ve run into problems with another solution was after getting to several hundred events. Would there be any site performance advantage to run the calendar on its own instance of WP in a multi-site environment – so the main site was on a different instance than the calendar? … or maybe disadvantages as well?

Hi Brian,

There are lots of variables and every use case is unique (the hosting environment, available server resources and caching configuration for instance all have a bearing on this).

Certainly there are lots of sites out there with our plugins and many hundreds of upcoming events, so in general I don’t think there will be a problem.

If you’re concerned, try simulating this in a test environment with our free plugin and see what you think 🙂
