Using Memcache with Nginx in a MODX/Evolution Stack

What teams hoped to gain from letting the CMS write data into Memcache while Nginx served cached content directly from it.

Pairing Memcache with Nginx promised a simple but attractive idea: let the CMS produce cache entries, then let the web server serve them back quickly without dragging PHP through every request.

The pattern is appealing because it separates expensive application work from cheap repeated delivery. It also shows how performance-minded Evolution teams kept looking beyond snippet tweaks and into the wider stack.

What This Architecture Optimizes

  • lower PHP workload on repeated requests
  • faster delivery for cached public pages
  • clearer separation between generation and delivery
