LiteSpeed Cache (by LiteSpeed Technologies) is a high-performance caching solution designed to speed up websites by storing pre-generated content so it can be delivered quickly to visitors without regenerating it each time. It’s especially popular for WordPress, Magento, Joomla, Drupal, and other web platforms.

🚀 What It Is
LiteSpeed Cache is a server-level cache that works with the LiteSpeed Web Server (but also has plugins/extensions for other servers) to dramatically improve page load times by:
Caching static and dynamic content
Reducing server load
Delivering pages faster to users
🧠 Key Features
✅ Full-Page Caching
Stores fully rendered pages so repeated visits don’t need fresh server processing.
⚙️ Advanced Cache Controls
You can set rules for:
which pages to cache
when to purge cache
how long cache lives
📦 Plugin / Extension Ecosystem
For popular CMSs there are official extensions:
LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress
LiteSpeed Cache for Magento
Etc.
These plugins add powerful controls like:
Image optimization (lazy load, resizing)
CSS/JS minification & combination
CDN integration
Database optimization
📈 Object Caching
Supports Redis and Memcached for database query caching.
🎯 ESI (Edge Side Includes)
Allows caching of page fragments — useful when parts of a page must remain dynamic (e.g., shopping cart widgets).
