OpCode Warmer (composer plugin)

Optimize your application by warming up OpCode.

Requirements

Install

$ composer global require "jderusse/composer-warmup"

Configure

; /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/10-opcache.ini
zend_extension=opcache.so
opcache.enable_cli=1
opcache.file_cache='/tmp/opcache'

; recommended
opcache.file_update_protection=0

Usage

$ cd my-project
$ composer warmup-opcode

How does it work?

Since PHP 7.0, the OpCache extension is able to store the compiled OpCode into files.

This plugin adds the warmup-opcode command to composer which triggers the compilation for every PHP file discovered in the project.

When you start the application for the first time, PHP doesn't need to compile the files, which improve performance.
