Igbinary is a drop in replacement for the standard php serializer. Instead of time and space consuming textual representation, igbinary stores php data structures in compact binary form. Savings are significant when using memcached or similar memory based storages for serialized data. About 50% reduction in storage requirement can be expected. Specific number depends on your data.

This module helps to clear the Nignx cache file of a specific URL.

How it works?

The module determines the hash key of the said page, locates the cached page based on this key from the Nginx cache store and deletes it. The module also allows the cache to be deleted when a node is updated.

Introduction

This module places updated versions of content that have been invalidated, into internal and external caches (a process known as cache warming).

Explaination

As requests are made to the site, the URL Queuer module maintains a table mapping cache tags for the pages to URLs. Once content edits/updates trigger Drupal core's internal cache invalidation, the invalidations are registered by the URL queuer module. Url Queuer then triggers external invalidations by URL for purgers that support it.

This is VERY DANGEROUS and should NEVER be enabled on public
available environments.

Use this module for performance testing for intranets and other
personalized websites.

Features:

  • Random user select during hook_boot()

Cache Mover is a cache backend useful for migrating cache bins from one backend to another with minimal or no performance loss and without any downtime.

Scenario

Imagine you have a cache bin stored using a particular backend, such as DrupalDatabaseCache (Drupal's default). Later, you want to switch from that backend to another backend such as Redis, which is dedicated and faster.
