Render-blocking and low performance rate with LiteSpeed

[calu]

Hi there, When I activate LiteSpeed cache, Eliminate render-blocking resources in Google Lighthouse increases from about 1-2 seconds to 12 seconds and Performance rate of only 4-5%.

Why does LiteSpeed create this issue, and which settings should I set to improve the speed of my site?

Regards
Carsten

Which cache plugin do you use?

Hi there, this is the LightSpeed forum, which is what I use, of course

You are talking about Litespeed Cache. Litespeed Cache needs a plugin for specific application like Wordpress. If you use Litespeed Cache without plugin, it is (almost) impossible to use Litespeed cache.

Hi there, sorry for the misunderstanding, yes I use LiteSpeed in a WordPress installation

Hi there, can anyone from support answer, why performance is as low as 5-6% when LiteSpeed cache plugin is activated, where Render blocking seems to be the big issue?

You have a very large number of static files. These static files causes blocking rendering on client side. Rendering files like CSS and JS is part of the client and not the server and is not part of HTTP cache. If you want to improve it reduce the number of static files.

Additional Info: This forum doesn't support Litespeed Cache plugin for Wordpress. You will get support at Wordpress Forum https://wordpress.org/plugins/litespeed-cache/

Hi there, I must admit that I don't know the definition of static files, and how to reduce them?

If I a plugin like Fast Velocity Minify in combination with LiteSpeed, the issue is reduced drastically. But the problem with this solution is the minify plugin is breaking scripts on my website.

This forum doesn't support Litespeed Cache plugin for Wordpress.

Sorry about that, I will direct my future topics to wordpress.org

Before you start using Litespeed Cache you should learn how to optimize a webpage. Otherwise you will get to much trouble!
