Immediacy
The store stops feeling sluggish
Click. The page loads. No waiting, no "heavy" site feeling. The customer feels the store is alive and professional.
Astraredis brings Redis to PrestaShop in a safe and selective way: anonymous page cache, intelligent warmup of homepage and catalogue, performance datasets with no core override. The customer doesn't see Redis. They see a site that responds. And they buy.
Real tests · Astraredis v1.4.1
The benchmarks below are taken from real tests with cache ON/OFF on the same PrestaShop store, same pages, same hardware.
* Real tests on active cache and pages covered by Astraredis. Improvement on optimised pages: typically 45–55%, peaks up to ~65%.
Average perceived benefit across the entire store: ~20–35%. Results vary depending on environment, catalogue and Redis configuration.
The experience that matters
What you really feel
Every Astraredis optimisation is built around a concrete feeling the merchant experiences every day with their store.
Click. The page loads. No waiting, no "heavy" site feeling. The customer feels the store is alive and professional.
You've invested in catalogue, photos, SEO, campaigns, product pages. Then the site slows down. Astraredis protects all that work and delivers it to the customer.
The customer doesn't think "what a slow site". They think "these people seem serious". Speed is the only form of design that's felt before it's seen.
Traffic arrives. The server doesn't struggle. Visits turn into orders instead of endless loading screens. Every euro of advertising delivers more.
Newsletter. Black Friday. Promos. Influencer. No more living with the constant thought "will it hold?". Redis absorbs the spike. You sleep soundly.
The intelligent warmup prepares homepage, menu, product snapshots and catalogue. The customer arrives and finds everything already ready. They don't know why it's so fast. But they feel it.
No redesign. No migration. No revolution. Install, configure, the store keeps looking like yours. Just much faster.
Fewer abandons, less waiting, less server load. More pages viewed, more trust, more conversion. Speed isn't aesthetics — it's a KPI.
Intelligent warmup
Astraredis doesn't try to cache everything. It selects with surgical precision the data that repeats most, what weighs most on the database, where the gain is real and measurable.
Warmup happens automatically: the first access fills Redis, subsequent accesses find everything already ready. The cache invalidates automatically when you update products, categories or stock.
X-Astraredis-* to monitor HIT/MISS/BYPASSFeatures
Every Astraredis component is designed to be safe, measurable and completely transparent — both for the end customer and for the developer managing it.
The full page (complete HTML) is served from Redis for anonymous users. Zero PHP processing, zero DB queries. Integrated Redis lock to prevent concurrent writes during traffic spikes.
Full-page cacheHomepage, menu, product snapshots and category engine are progressively warmed up with configurable TTLs per type. The server responds immediately because Redis already has everything in memory.
Intelligent warmupDedicated dashboard with: Redis connection, managed keys, hits/misses for homepage/menu/products/categories, page cache hits/writes/bypasses and last test timestamp. Total visibility, no black box.
Native dashboardThe cache clears automatically when you update products, categories, stock or images. Official PrestaShop hooks for every relevant event: no stale data, no manual cache management.
Auto-invalidationAstraredis uses exclusively official PrestaShop hooks. No core file is modified. No public endpoint exposed. No sensitive data in Redis without an isolated per-shop prefix.
Hook-only · SecureEach cache layer is activated and configured independently: host, port, auth, DB, TTL per type, isolated prefix, anonymous-only mode, URL filter skip, debug headers. Suitable for simple and complex environments.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Astraredis is the bridge between PrestaShop and Redis — you need a Redis instance reachable from your web server (127.0.0.1:6379 by default, but configurable with host, port, authentication and database). Redis is available on almost all modern VPS and cloud hosting, often as a managed service or installable in a few minutes. If you're unsure, contact us and we'll assess together.
For safety and correctness, Astraredis's anonymous page cache is active only for non-logged-in users (configurable). Logged-in customers always receive the page generated in real time by PrestaShop — to correctly display personalised prices, wishlists, order status and other account-specific data. This is the correct and expected behaviour.
Yes, completely automatic. Astraredis is hooked into official PrestaShop hooks for every relevant event: product update, category, available stock, image addition/deletion. When something changes, the affected Redis keys are invalidated immediately. No stale data, no manual cache management.
No. Astraredis exclusively stores public and anonymous data: HTML of public pages, navigation datasets (menu, categories), visible product snapshots. Session data, customer information, carts, orders or any personal data are never written to Redis. The module does not expose public endpoints to Redis.
In real tests on Astraredis (v1.4.1, cache active): −65% response time on optimised pages, −60% database queries, −65/80% SQL time. The average perceived benefit across the entire store is approximately 20–35%, because not all pages are covered by cache. Results depend on catalogue size, Redis configuration and hosting. The numbers you’ve read on this page are real, not theoretical.
No, never. Astraredis uses exclusively the official PrestaShop hook system and does not overwrite any core file. The module can be installed and uninstalled without leaving traces on the PrestaShop codebase. You can update PrestaShop freely — Astraredis doesn't interfere.
The annual licence at €149 includes: full use of the module for 1 PrestaShop store, all updates released within 12 months, access to the Astralith Update Center from the back office, dedicated technical support and all future improvements. No hidden costs, no separate premium features.
