Wordpress LScache Plugin: Cache always miss and high TTFB
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 I tried mailing directly to support but did not receive a reply so will try here as well in case others have some input as well. So Ive abandoned WP Rocket to try with Litespeed cache + Redis object cache. Setting everything up went smoothly and the site seems to run very well. I actually feel the page load is faster now. However, when I run GTMetrix or any other page speed tool cache always says miss . When I tried this with WP Rocket, I would always get miss on the first attempt, but then on the following try it would always be hit . In general I do get a decent final page load result in GTMetrix at 2.6s and Im pretty sure cache is working but for some reason TTFB is very high at 600-900ms. When I used WP ROcket, TTFB was always around 170-250ms when cache hit . Ive tried a bunch of things ? Ive turned off Redis, Cloudflare, and played around with the LScache settings but nothing helps. So my question is, why is TTFB so high and why is page speed test always showing miss . My Google Analytics plugin is also showing Page Load Time much higher than before when I used WP Rocket although I can feel that my site is loading much faster now. The numbers and info I am getting are contradictory and its confusing me. Ive actually figured out what is causing this I think. It appears to be geotargetingwp. When I disable it, TTFB drops to 200ms. I will have to speak to the developer of that plugin. I just changed back to WP Rocket and now everything works perfectly. I get 117ms TTFB and faster Largest Contentful Paint. Unless I can fix the issues I am having with Litespeed plugin, I cannot use it. Hi, I tried mailing directly to support if you send it during later Friday or weekend , you may not receive any reply until Monday ? May I know what is the sender address ? or a ticket number if you have received any reply Best regards, I already switched back to WP Rocket and now I get faster loading times. I didnt really see much of a benefit moving to Litespeed + I had all these issues with high ttfb etc. Thanks.
