Why Use LiteMage
-
Hole Punching
Edge Side Includes (ESI) engine for hole punching.
-
Customizable
Configurable punched holes mapped to blocks defined in the Magento page layout.

-
Low Overhead
Retrieve multiple blocks per request, minimizing the overhead of building multi-block pages.
-
Bypass the Backend
Support for Last Viewed Product (this can be turned off for even faster speeds), Product Comparison, Stock Tracking and other features requiring communication with the Magento backend.
-
Navigation Options
Support for layered navigation, category filtering, product toolbar options (view as, sort by and show per page) functionality.
-
Multiple Views
Support for multi-store, multi-currency, and multi-user groups.
-
AJAX Support
Support for extensions using AJAX based cart.
-
Crawler

Comparisons
How Does LiteMage Cache Compare to Other Page Caching Solutions?
-
Varnish-based solutions
(Turpentine, etc.)
- Complicated to set up.
- Requests dynamic blocks individually, multiplying the high cost of Magento framework initialization. Can make a cached page even slower than an uncached page.
- No SSL support. Frontend proxy server required to support HTTPS, adding even more layers.
- Uses AJAX, which lowers overall server performance.
-
Solution for Magento
(Litemage Cache)
- All content can be assembled from cache, even per-user, private blocks, for best performance.
- Multiple blocks are called for in a single request, lowering overhead.
- Native HTTPS, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 Support.
- Supremely scalable — handles 10,000's of connections without missing a beat.
- Built-in extra anti-DDoS features protect you from attacks.
- Suitable for Shared Hosting and clustered environments.
-
PHP-based solutions
(Full Page Cache)
- Content is cached by PHP, so all pages are still generated dynamically by PHP. PHP is a heavy language and overall scalability is thus limited by PHP scalability.
- Reliance on PHP causes generally slower page load times.
- Limits in PHP scalability make PHP solutions vulnerable to DDoS attacks.

LiteMage Cache Drastically Improves Page Load Times
With the same configuration and LiteMage active, the average response time dropped to an incredible 0.12 seconds with
the shortest transaction coming in at 0.06 seconds and the longest at 5.26 seconds (likely a page that was not
cacheable). That is a 93.5% reduction in response time, over 15x's faster than before!
