Wordpress LScache Plugin: Problems on Uninstall
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hi, I unistalled Litespeed cache as I couldnt get it to function properly with a few parts of my website and email feed. Since uninstalling I am getting repeated notices of high server usage from my hosting provider and the logs show it is coming from 3 sources: lsphp lsphp:/home/myuserid/public_html/index.php lsphp:/home/myuserid/public_html/wp-cron.php I assume lsphp is to do with litespeed cache? If it is then any idea as to what is causing this and how to stop it? This topic was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by Markurs. lsphp is not litespeed cache. It is the original PHP with build-in lscache functionality. Please check your other plugins and theme. It may be caused by them. If you have any error msg, it may help figure out the issue. No error messages, just notification of high resource usage caused by lsphp. Deactivating plugins and theme still causes this. How do I get rid of the built-in lightspeed cache functionality from php? Or at least stop php from calling lightspeed? Did you deactivate all other plugins? I dont think that functionality can affect anything. It didnt get called if you dont have our lscache plugin. Yes deactivated all plugins and used standard WordPress theme. Could you please create a tix so we can have a look at your server and wp-admin? Thanks. prefer you not routing around in wp-admin to be honest. Im on shared hosting with guru.co.uk so server is litespeed maintained by them. Could you please tell us any feedback why you want to uninstall lscache? If it is some improvements we need to do, we are very glad to give it a try. Appreciated. I uninstalled it as I i couldnt get it to function with a number of areas of my website: ? My site runs Http 2.0 when using W3TC (page cache, browser cache, minify, CDN). Turning off the page caching in W3TC and using Litespeed cache meant it only ran Http 1.1 ? Turning off page caching in W3TC and using Litespeed cache meant that my CDN (Amazon Cloudfront) returned no static files. Disabling Litespeed cache and the static files all reappear. ? I send a daily email of posts to signups using an external provider (Mailchimp). With Litespeed cache enabled no emails were being sent out for several days in a row despite not caching my feed in Litespeed cache and the new posts were in my feed. Turning off litespeed cache and all returned to normal. ? Since uninstalling and just using W3TC for everything (page cache, browser cache, minify, CDN) all has returned to normal. ? I am still left with notifications of high server usage from my hosting due to the processes outlined above: lsphp lsphp:/home/myuserid/public_html/index.php lsphp:/home/myuserid/public_html/wp-cron.php Hi @markurs, May I ask how you upload your attachments to CDN? Which plugin are you using for it? Attachments are pulled by the CDN on first usage of the static file, therefore there is no need to upload them as it works as a mirror. I use W3TC CDN (option: Amazon Cloudfront (pull)) in the general options menu of W3TC. Hi, @markurs Im closing this topic because theres been no discussion for a few weeks. If you are still experiencing the high server load that was the original issue on this thread, please send email to bugs@litespeedtech.com so we can dig deeper and find a solution with you. Thanks!
