What Do People Say About LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress

  • A Really Cache Master

    I have tried almost all the cache and CDN plugins but LiteSpeed, besides being pre-integrated in the server, is a very complete tool, I recommend it, and with Cloudflare’s cache it goes very well! Recommended!

    —  Avakian

  • I Can’t Say Enough Good Things About LiteSpeed Cache.

    I can’t say enough good things about LiteSpeed Cache. From the first day I implemented it on our company’s WordPress site, the improvements were visible. Not only did our site’s loading speed increase dramatically, but our SEO rankings also saw a noticeable boost. It’s incredibly user-friendly and integrates seamlessly with other plugins. I highly recommend this to any business looking to enhance their website performance.

  • Very Fast and Reliable for Some Websites & Themes

    If Litespeed is compatible with your website, plugins and theme combination, this caching plugin (with your server environment running Litespeed) is very fast and reliable. After tweaking the settings, of which there is a comprehensive set of options, our website used to be 2.5Mb in size and a load time of around 1.5s which was reduced to 800Kb and an average load time of 275ms testing on tools.pingdom.com. We have tried numerous other good caching plugins, but Litespeed and Litespeed Server blow most others away. If you are hosting a high-traffic website, this saving on server overhead and response times has been a worthwhile investment.

  • Experience Lightning-Fast Websites with LiteSpeed Cache

    I recently had the opportunity to integrate the LiteSpeed Cache plugin into my WordPress site, and I am thoroughly impressed with the results. The improvement in my website’s loading speed was nothing short of dramatic. As a Japanese user, I particularly appreciate the plugin’s accurate handling of Japanese characters, which makes it incredibly user-friendly for those of us in Japan. Additionally, the compatibility with my server is excellent, ensuring smooth operation without any hitches. If you’re looking for a reliable and efficient way to boost your website’s performance, LiteSpeed Cache is definitely worth considering.

  • Advanced Preset Feature = A Game Changer

    Our hosting is on a LiteSpeed server. I initially tried the plugin and it broke the site so I moved and used several other caching plugins. While addressing resource issues and gave LiteSpeed Cache plugin another try. I discovered the Presets feature. Selected “ADVANCED”. Like magic, the PageSpeed scores for mobile went from 50s to 89. For both ease of use and spectacular results, this is the absolute best caching plugin of the five others I’ve tried.

  • Top-Notch Cache Plugin!

    I’ve been using this plugin on several websites, and I’m genuinely impressed with the results. It’s undoubtedly one of the best cache plugins I’ve come across. LiteSpeed Cache is an all-in-one solution that has greatly improved the performance of my websites. I absolutely love this plugin!

    —  Ashim Kumar

  • Perhaps The Best Caching plugin

    There are plenty of caching plugins on the market. But this one does a fantastic job when you are running a wp site on a Litespeed based Server. There’s no better alternative. Here are a few features I love about this free plugin Integration of free CDN with QuicCloud CDN Caching and clear caching features. Selective clear cache feature Object caching Redis integration / Memcache integration External CDN integration Out of the box, templates of caching settings to use Select / Deselect if you want to combine JS and HTML and CSS or keep them seperate Debugging: Disable all features temporarily if testing or updating something Easiest to use and setup. With Litespeed Server + Quic CDN and a well developed website, it makes it super easy to reach 100% speed test results Integration with Quic means you can create HTML based front end that’s stored on CDN servers and serves the user super fast html pages.

  • Drastic Difference in Site Speed

    My site was running REALLY slowly, it was driving me crazy. Tried everything I could think of, including all the ‘best’ plugins’ on offer No plugin I’ve tried prior has made as drastic an improvement compared to Litespeed. I’m absolutely delighted with it. Fantastic plugin, that actually does what it claims to do.

  • Perfectly

    I am a layman for these things and I managed to greatly accelerate my website. There are enough guides and instructions available so that it goes fine. My first setting to PageSpeed Insights for mobile phone is 95-78-100-92 and 99-77-100-91 for pc. I recommend. I use a Divi Extra theme.

  • Love This Plugin!

    I’ve been using LSC for quite a while and the speed of my site now is wonderful! I recently had an issue with a conflict on my site and the support team helped me resolve it very quickly. Great product and excellent support!

    —  Shirley Alarie

  • Best by Test

    Install, connect to quick.cloud and configure DNS/CDN, and my page boost from 39 to 92 PageSpeed without special LiteSpeed-server-host. You will not get any caching plugin that serves that for 0$ at that time and will pay later by quota and use – faire enough! Besides you get DDoS Protection etc. for free. I feel the guys are really interested to secure PageSpeed and “caching product” not only serving a “cashing product”!! Thanks

  • Maravilloso

    Con las todas las funciones gratuitas que tiene, es más que suficiente si tu web no es de gran escala. Ha mejorado la mía de manera exponencial (al menos en web de escritorio). Un 5/5. With all the free functions it has, it is more than enough if your website is not large scale. It has improved mine exponentially (at least on the desktop web). A 5/5.

  • For Our Server Clients, It’s The Go To

    Fast, powerful and designed by the LiteSpeed folk to work with their own software.

  • Super Awesome

    Super Awesome! Saves me three plugins – cache, CloudFlare, image opt – and does a superior job in each case.

    —  aCstudent

  • Works Well, Good Documentation, and Fantastic Support Responses

    First, the plugin works great and it’s easy to verify that with the various page speed tools. What impresses me most though is the excellent support responses, both for caching newbies and experts who just need the setup details.

  • Powerful

Frequently Asked Questions

 Is the LiteSpeed Cache Plugin for WordPress free?

Yes, this LSCache plugin will always be free and open source. That said, a LiteSpeed server is required, and there are fees associated with some LiteSpeed server editions. Additionally, some of the premium online services provided through QUIC.cloud (CDN Service, Image Optimization, Critical CSS, Unique CSS, Low-Quality Image Placeholder, etc.) require payment at certain usage levels.

 What server software is required for this plugin?

A LiteSpeed server is required in order to use this plugin. You will need one of the following (any single server or cluster including one of these will work):

  1. LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise with LSCache Module (v5.0.10+)
  2. OpenLiteSpeed (v1.4.17+)
  3. QUIC.cloud CDN

Many of the optimization features may be used with any web server. A LiteSpeed server is not required for such features.

 What is the difference between the LSCache Module for LSWS (requires a license) and the LSCache Plugin for WordPress (free)?

The LSCache Module is built into your licensed copy of LiteSpeed Web Server. When it comes to caching dynamic content, the LSCache Module does all of the work.

The LSCache Plugin for WordPress is simply an interface. It allows WordPress to instruct the server Module on what to cache, how long to cache it, and when to purge. And it allows the site owner to manage and configure the Module. Without the Module, the Plugin could not function.

A licensed LSCache Module is required in order to use the free LSCache Plugin.

 Does this plugin work in a clustered environment?

The cache entries are stored at the LiteSpeed server level. The simplest solution is to use LiteSpeed WebADC, as the cache entries will be stored at that level.

If using another load balancer, the cache entries will only be stored at the backend nodes, not at the load balancer.

The purges will also not be synchronized across the nodes, so this is not recommended.

If a customized solution is required, please contact LiteSpeed Technologies at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

NOTICE: The rewrite rules created by this plugin must be copied to the Load Balancer.

 Does LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress work with OpenLiteSpeed?

Yes it can work well with OpenLiteSpeed, although some features (such as ESI) may not be supported. Any setting changes that require modifying the .htaccess file will require a server restart.

 Is WooCommerce supported?

In short, yes. However, for some woocommerce themes, the cart may not be updated correctly. Please see this blog post for a quick tutorial on how to detect this problem and fix it if necessary.

 Are my images optimized?

Images are not optimized automatically, but if you'd like to have it done we provide an Image-Optimization function. Find it at LiteSpeed Cache > Image Optimization.

 Does LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress have a crawler?

Yes. The crawler must be enabled by your hosting provider. Once enabled, the crawler can be configured to traverse your site on a regular basis, and re-cache any pages that have expired from cache. Visitors are far less likely to encounter uncached content on a well-crawled site. Pages load fast and deliver a positive user experience.

 How to Install LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress?

LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress works right out of the box with default settings that are appropriate for most sites. Please refer to the steps from our How to Install LSCWP page.

 How can I check if LiteSpeed Cache is enabled?

Try our LSCache Check tool, which detects LiteSpeed Cache support as well as QUIC.cloud CDN support for any URL.
