2.8.14. Session storage handler

Storing sessions in Memcache(d) or Redis can speed up the site to some extent due to the fact that the data will be stored not on disk, but in RAM, where the speed of access to them will be higher.

The parameter is responsible for the session storage handler session.save_handler... It defines the name of the handler that is used to store and retrieve data associated with the session.

    • "storing sessions in Redis" — sessions will be stored in a cache in RAM (available with an ordered additional service Redis or on tariffs businesshosting).
