How to Install and Configure Redis on Ubuntu 18.04 and Speed Up WordPress Using Redis Caching

Redis is a very popular fast in-memory data structure storage engine, which is typically used as a database server, cache, and message broker. It is written in the C programming language. It also provides official PHP modules for communication between PHP scripts and the Redis server. With redis, all data is stored in memory.
