Speeding up WordPress with LSCache

Install the LiteSpeed Cache plugin, enable server-level page caching, and set exclusions for logged-in and shop pages.

How-to guideIntermediate2 min readUpdated

LSCache is available on Traxio. It caches pages at the web server itself, which is faster than PHP-based caching plugins.

Set up

  1. Install LiteSpeed Cache from Plugins → Add New.
  2. Open LiteSpeed Cache → Cache and turn caching on.
  3. Keep Cache Logged-in Users off unless you understand the implications.
  4. Deactivate any other page caching plugin.

Check it works

Visit a page logged out, open developer tools → Network, and look for the x-litespeed-cache: hit response header on a second load.

Shops

WooCommerce basket, checkout and account pages are excluded automatically; confirm in the exclusions list.
