Wordpress LScache Plugin: Litespeed caching query strings
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 When calling my site without https:// (http://www.example.com) my site will redirect to https correctly but occasionally will put the following parameters after the link: https://www.example.com?utm_source=businessmagnet.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=businessmagnet.co.uk https://www.example.com?utm_source=yell&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=yell https://www.example.com?fbclid=IwAR10h… When I purge all the litespeed cache it stops this behaviour. They seem to be somehow getting cached in litespeed when theres a redirect from http to https. Litespeed has the default Drop Query Strings: fbclid gclid utm _ga Is there a reason why listespeed is caching these parameters? Hi, Could you please provide the report number ? you can get it in toolbox -> report -> click send to LiteSpeed Best regards, Yes no problem. The report number is JSDJBATO. Thanks. Hi, that feature Drop Query Strings: fbclid gclid utm _ga is only meant regardless the string , all these query will be treated as same request e.g. .com/page1?query=string1 .com/page1?query=string2 .com/page1?query=string3 this generates 3 caches when you add query into that drop list , then above 3 requests will only generates 1 cache. I dont think this feature will do such thing , but please try it anyway. another thing you might try go to cache ? > TTL -> at bottom , you will see a box Default HTTP Status Code Page TTL add 301 1 into last line , this will literally no-cache the 301 redirection Best regards, I also had this problem. It was strange because the homepage (only) was excluded from being cached. Yet still it would display external querystrings and go into a redirect loop. I whitelisted a few querystring parameters, but there were always more variations, so had to uninstall Litespeed before the client went totally berserk. CJ Hi CJ, I didnt find a solution to this. Its very intermittent, last time was 3 weeks ago. Its a strange issue but as it didnt put my site into a redirect loop it wasnt a huge concern. A redirect loop would be worrying.
