MyBB’s Datacache, fetched from the database by default, can be stored using different cache handlers to improve performance.

You can select which Cache Handler you would like to use on your MyBB installation by editing the configuration file (inc/config.php) and changing the value of $config['cache_store'].

For example, to use the APCu cache store, change the line to:

$config['cache_store'] = 'apcu';
