How to speed up WordPress with LiteSpeed Cache

Table of Contents

Our servers run LiteSpeed, which works directly with the free LiteSpeed Cache plugin to serve pages much faster.

  1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New.
  2. Search for LiteSpeed Cache, then install and activate it.
  3. Open LiteSpeed Cache > Cache and make sure caching is turned on.
  4. Under Page Optimization, enable CSS and JavaScript minification, then check that your site still looks right.
  5. Under Image Optimization, you can optimize images and enable lazy loading.

LiteSpeed Cache recognises WooCommerce and does not cache the cart, checkout or account pages, so shoppers always see their own basket.

After changing settings, open your site in a private browser window to check that everything works as expected.
