Welcome to LiteSpeed Web Cache Solution!
Our web cache solution is one of the fastest cache solutions in the world, and easy to deploy, configure and maintain.
LiteSpeed Web Cache Solution is composed of 3 components: LiteSpeed Web Server, Server built-in cache, Application Cache Plugin. These 3 components works seamlessly together and help our clients deliver the fastest sites. To deploy the cache solution, we need to install and configure the 3 components in sequence(step by step). Please follow through the steps below:
Component 1 - LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS)
( If you already have lsws running you can skip this step ) LSWS is the backbone of the cache solution. It is a high performance event-driven server, coming with a GUI net admin page. LSWS installation is the same for all ENT versions. The functionality and module enable/disable is controlled through license. For our cache solution, you have to choose to include LSCache module or LiteMage Cache module in the license. Please refer to our license wiki page: License

Component 2 - LiteSpeed Cache / LiteMage Cache(for Magento)
Since LSCache is built-in server, no extra installation needed. We only need the proper license to enable the module. Please refer to the license page: License
Basically in this step we need to configure two things for cache: Cache storage settings(for server and vhosts), one setting in Cache Policy Setting. Other settings will be handled through the 3rd component: Application Plugin for cache.
We suggest user to disable LSCache in server level and enable for vhosts needed.
Please choose your env type from the following scenarios for this step:
cPanel/WHM Single Site Shared Hosting Plesk Single Site Shared Hosting Apache Config (No Control Panel) Single Site Shared Hosting LiteSpeed Native Single Site Shared Hostin
Component 3 - Application Plugin for LSC
Currently we provide plugins for the following popular applications. The function of plugin is to configure the lscache specifically for that application and easy user cache management.
