While this may not seem significant for websites with low traffic, as traffic to the site begins to increase, so does the amount of energy consumed. Without effective caching on the client, the server will see an increase in workload, more CPU usage and ultimately increased latency for the end user. Show me the money!

Key Takeaways Redis offers complex data structures and additional features for versatile data handling, while Memcached excels in simplicity with a fast, multi-threaded architecture for basic caching needs. Redis is better suited for complex data models, and Memcached is better suited for high-throughput, string-based caching scenarios.
