Wordpress LScache Plugin: Any benefit to having Litespeed Cache Plugin if Caching Turned Off?
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 We have a blog using WordPress. It uses Cloudflares CDN (but no caching). We cant use the Litespeed Plugins caching feature because it caches the desktop versions of our webpages and serves them to our site visitors from mobile phones. Therefore, weve had to turn the cache off under LiteSpeed Cache Settings > Cache > Enable Cache. Now we see the following message at the top of every section within the plugin settings: WARNING LSCache caching functions on this page are currently unavailable! Please enable LiteSpeed Cache in the plugin settings. Learn More Are there any advantages to us keeping the Litespeed Cache Plugin installed or, if not, should we just delete it? Thank you. The page I need help with: https://www.azam.info/ Hi, maybe you can try enable mobile cache , this will serve different page for mobile and desktop yes , even without caching , you can still get benefit of these optimization options Best regards, Thank you for the quick and helpful reply. Our blog uses the Wptouch WordPress plugin to show the mobile version of our website to mobile users. It has worked perfectly for ten years before we installed Litespeed. > maybe you can try enable mobile cache , this will serve different page for mobile and desktop Weve tried having Enable Cache to on and also Cache Mobile to on previously. However, having tested it extensively over many days, it tends to cache the desktop version of the website and then show the desktop version to people even on mobiles. Do you know why this may be and how we can resolve? Therefore Im now wondering if I can set Cache Mobile to on but leave Enable Cache to off? See settings here. Or would that render ALL caching, desktop and mobile, to off? yes , even without caching , you can still get benefit of these optimization options What are the benefits if all caching is set to off please? Ive set it as per the settings in the above screenshot (Cache Mobile to on but leave Enable Cache to off). Could you kindly check to see if the website is now being cached with Litespeed? Hi, yeah ? WP touch uses different way to detect mobile/table/desktop as default WP and our plugin does , that makes the detection result inconsistant for example LSCWP thinks this page is mobile , while WP touch thinks it is a table , and eventually theme renders table page as desktop ?> this will result as mobile cached with desktop page we are aware of this issue and working on it Enable Cache is the master switch for the options in that page , so if you set this to OFF, rest options wont work no matter how you set them page optimization -> like css minify , combine , js minify combine , image optimization , webp replacement , critical css, LQIP ?etc basically all the options you see in the plugin , except the caching. Best regards, Thanks for the helpful feedback. Ill wait until the issue that affects WPTouch is resolved. In the meanwhile, well leave Litespeed plugin installed but leave the Cache to off .
