In this article, AZDIGI will show you how to install OPCache on FASTPANEL to improve PHP performance many times and help reduce CPU load for your VPS/server.
I. Overview
By default, when installing FASTPANEL on your VPS/server, FASTPANEL by default only installs PHP 5.4 version, if you want to install another PHP version, you can refer to the instructions below:

However, all the new PHP versions you install do not have the built-in Opcache PHP Extension. So what is Opcache PHP Extension? Please continue reading this article.
II. What is OPcache?
Originally called Zend Optimizer +, OPcache (introduced in PHP 5.5.0) is a powerful PHP extension built to enhance PHP performance, thus increasing overall application performance. It is available as an extension through PECL for PHP versions 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4. It works by storing precompiled script-bytecode in shared memory or RAM, thus eliminating the need for PHP to load and parse the script on each request.
Benefits OPcache brings:
- Helps reduce %CPU usage for the server.
- Reduce TTFB of all PHP sites on the server.
- Increase website loading speed.
So how to integrate Opcache PHP Extension to FASTPANEL, please see the following steps.
