Drupal 8 Redis Configuration
As of today (February 14, 2017) the Redis plugin on D8 is on beta 1 and appears to be pretty stable, however the documentation appears to be lacking a bit. (I know, I should contribute and maybe I will later this week). There’s a lot of different advice/instructions for setting up…

Preferred WP/ACF image usage
In ACF, try to never use the_sub_field() on an image and always have ACF return an image array, especially for larger images.
