LiteSpeed and LSCache explained for WordPress

What LiteSpeed Enterprise is, how LSCache serves WordPress without PHP, how clearing the cache works, and our measured cached and uncached times.

LiteSpeed is the web server that answers requests for your site. With LSCache it can answer most of them from a stored copy without starting WordPress.

A fast response from the cache.

Step by step

  1. Without the cache

    WordPress runs PHP and queries the database for every request: 766 ms on our fleet.

  2. With LSCache

    The server returns the stored page: 0,8 ms for the same page.

  3. Keeping it correct

    The LSCache plugin clears pages when content changes and skips baskets, checkouts and signed-in users.

  4. Enterprise compared with OpenLiteSpeed

    OpenLiteSpeed is free with fewer features; Enterprise is Apache-compatible and licensed. We run Enterprise.

A server-level page cache is usually the biggest single speed improvement a WordPress site can get.
