XF 2.1 New Features / Performance

[dvduval]

So one thing that excited me is the Caching for Guests, as it sounds like this will reduce the use of Server Memory (yes?). Is this something I need to turn on? or is it something already taken care of because I upgraded?

And just in terms of turning on things, any chance I could get some "quick links" in the admin to where I might go about turning on new features in 2.1?
I know there are Push Notifications and a replacement for the "like" (emotions or something haha).

There is no overview or list of links/pages/etc.

Most of the new features are listed here though: https://xenforo.com/community/forums/have-you-seen/

this thread has useful info regarding guest page caching

XF 2.1 - Guest page caching

So I have this in my config already: $config['cache']['enabled'] = true; $config['cache']['provider'] = 'Redis'; $config['cache']['config'] = [ 'host' => '127.0.0.1', 'password' => 'Boobs!' ]; Do I just need to simply add this in the end? $config['pageCache']['enabled'] = true;

Thank you. I was able to enable the guest caching, and definitely the pages are loading much faster as a logged out user. PHP 7.3 is also working great.
