Wordpress LScache Plugin: NSFW How do I know its working?
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hi, my hosting notified me of a server change, and in this new server theyre using your plugin for caching (previously they were using cachewall). I have now installed the plugin on my website: https://7i.se/Gc 1) How do I check its working? 2) Do I need to somehow connect it thru cpanel? This is what I see in cpanel: https://pasteboard.co/DCyPAW98gaXY.png Thank you for this plugin. Best, Deon To check if plugin is working check HTTP headers of the main codument. Press F12 key to open developer console in browser. Select network tab and click on the first entry in the list of requests. This should be the request of main codument. Click it and you will see all headers in a new window . Look for x-litespeed-cache header. The value should be hit , if page is already cached. If it is miss, reload the page and ceck again. In your case something prevents caching URLs, because x-litespeed-cache header is always no-cache , so check if plugin is enabled or settings in plugin prevents caching. Hi, thank you for your reply. I have enabled the plugin both on the server side and on my website. I flushed all cache both on site and server, and it still shows: no cache. I ran a debug log, but I dont see any hint to what the problem could be? 01/21/22 23:06:14.423 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] ------GET HTTP/1.1 (HTTPS) /page-name-here/ 01/21/22 23:06:14.423 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] Query String: 01/21/22 23:06:14.423 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] HTTP_REFERER: https://MYWEBSITE.COM/ 01/21/22 23:06:14.423 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] Cookie _lscache_vary: 95c1174ce4b24806105462c88880b22d 01/21/22 23:06:14.478 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] [Ctrl] X Cache_control -> private ( logged in user ) 01/21/22 23:06:14.478 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] [Router] get_role: administrator 01/21/22 23:06:14.502 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] [Tag] Add --- HTTP.200 01/21/22 23:06:14.502 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] [Ctrl] X Cache_control init on 01/21/22 23:06:14.550 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] [Vary] No pending comment 01/21/22 23:06:14.562 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] [Ctrl] X Cache_control -> no Cache ( wp polls ) 01/21/22 23:06:14.566 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] [Core] Footer hook called 01/21/22 23:06:14.566 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] [Core] Footer check passed 01/21/22 23:06:14.567 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] [Ctrl] not cacheable before ctrl finalize 01/21/22 23:06:14.568 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] [Vary] set_cookie ---> admin_bar:1 logged-in:1 role:99 01/21/22 23:06:14.569 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] X-LiteSpeed-Cache-Control: no-cache 01/21/22 23:06:14.569 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] [Core] Footer check passed 01/21/22 23:06:14.570 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] [Media] bypass: Not cacheable 01/21/22 23:06:14.570 [IPHERE:62637 1 Mjn] End responseExpand X Cache_control -> no Cache ( wp polls ) that wp poll plugin is calling page no-cache in order to showing a live poll result Thank you for the reply! I deactivated the wp-polls plugin and it gives me a hit now. But I would like to keep the plugin and the polls also. Is there any exception or rules I can put in the LScache settings to make it work with WPpolls, whether by caching the results of the poll, or by caching all on the page except for the polls? When the polls plugin is activated does it prevent it from caching the whole page, or is it caching everything else anyway? Thanks! I dont have good solution to this case maybe you can try different poll plugin one thing you can try , that will cache the vote result is edit file https://github.com/litespeedtech/lscache_wp/blob/master/thirdparty/entry.inc.php remove the line Wp_Polls, , then it will make the page cache Hi, Thank you for your help! I removed the line WP_Polls and now the pages are caching. Basically what did we do? Does it mean that now the whole site is caching except for the polls? Another quick question, why in Inspect > Network it shows: cache control: no-cache, and then below it says litespeed cache, hit? Is it 2 different types of caches? cache-control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0 . . . server: LiteSpeed x-litespeed-cache: hit,private x-powered-by: PHP/7.4.27 yes, first one is the browser cache , and that is the default wordpress value and you should keep it that way the second is LSCache status. Thanks, so everything is caching now, except for the polls. (I didnt know if your yes was to my first or second question). Please let me know, I just want a confirmation from you to be 100% clear I removed the line WP_Polls and now the pages are caching. Basically what did we do? Does it mean that now the whole site is caching except for the polls? everything is caching now, except for the polls. yes why in Inspect > Network it shows: cache control: no-cache, and then below it says litespeed cache, hit? first one is the browser cache , and that is the default wordpress value and you should keep it that way the second is LSCache status. this should be more clear with quotes : ) Thank you very much!
