Wordpress LScache Plugin: Site still slow
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 My web host has litespeed server, so I installed the litespeed cache plugin and configured it following a 40min youtube tutorial. But when testing on GTMetrix and google speed test, my site scores much lower than when I was using Autoptimize. Why is that? Or should I run them together? I would have expected the litespeed plugin to be the best. Thanks Hi, Could you please provide the report number ? You can get it from toolbox -> report , click send to LiteSpeed Best regards, Hiya, thanks for your reply. Heres the report number: LBXXGCCA Thanks Hi, my site scores much lower may I know what was the result you had before ? Best regards, Sure thing. Heres with only Litespeed cache plugin: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/reubensimpson.co.nz/WPUlcvpN https://pasteboard.co/JonIbGn.png Heres with only Autoptimizer plugin: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/reubensimpson.co.nz/UdF8gvdS https://pasteboard.co/JonIt0C.png Thanks Hi, please use same input domain on LSCWP case, you used URL http:// , instead of https:// as you did on AO , redirection will add extra timing. and I would also like to see the detail information in pagespeed insight, your screenshot only gives score without any detail information. Best regards, Sorry good point, I didnt even notice. Ive redone just now: Heres with only Litespeed cache plugin: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/reubensimpson.co.nz/oJ0BHUih https://pasteboard.co/JooohxO.png Heres with only Autoptimizer plugin: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/reubensimpson.co.nz/jkgJTWhJ https://pasteboard.co/JoolL0S.png Hmm maybe it was just the redirection thing that I had been doing wrong, as now google sitespeed score is better! Still, is there anything you can spot that I can improve? Hi, hmmmm , well , actually no much. I noticed you have cloudflare , but based on my test, it seems TTFB is even lower without CF. Best regards, Ahh, so it might be worth having no cdn? Hi, on my test, I was using local host to bypass CF and directly connect to your origin , but it might just have particular good connection between my computer and your origin , but may not be a general case. so you may need to test it out with and without CF, and see how it goes in general case. Best regards, True, turning off the clourfare option in the plugin did seem to improve on my end also. Ok ? thanks for all of your help Qtwrk! Sorry! Just one more question: Some of the titles on some pages dont load properly with the plugin turned on. Plugin on (bad title): https://pasteboard.co/JoxI2vD.png Plugin off (way it should look): https://pasteboard.co/JoxILed.png I notice that every time though that I refresh the page then it loads fine. Do you know what setting I need to tweak so it loads properly each time? Just checking if you have any advice Hi, Please create a new topic for new issue. Best regards,
