A highly customizable high-performance page cache for dynamic content built into LiteSpeed Web Server. Similar to Varnish but more efficient! LiteSpeed Cache is included free in all our current licenses, as well as our 8-CPU legacy license, and is available as a purchase-able add-on for the 1-CPU and below legacy licenses. (Since LSWS version 4.0)
How to add LSCache to your license
LSCache's features are very similar to those in Apache mod_cache, but implemented in a more efficient way. LiteSpeed cache works like Varnish. It is an output cache for dynamic contents, so the usage is not limited to PHP pages. Unlike Varnish, LiteSpeed cache is built into LiteSpeed's web server, thus eliminating one layer of reverse proxy. This translates into higher efficiency for static contents.
When LiteSpeed cache plugin available for your popular applications such as WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, Xenforo and many others more, you should follow the corresponding LiteSpeed Cache Plugins by Application section to setup cache. If the plugin is not available for your application, please refer to LSCache module section for general setup, which uses rewrite rules (either in configuration files or .htaccess) to control its behavior for maximum flexibility.
