Wordpress LScache Plugin: Slow slows when I use LSCache instead of Litespeed without plugin
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Slow slows when I use LSCache instead of Litespeed without plugin i.e just using .htaccess code? LSCache plugin slows site, however lscache without plugin is fine? But plugin provides more control over login user caching? The page I need help with: https://newsangels.com/ Hi, this could happens if you enable some expensive optimization ,then when cache miss , it could take more time to process it (like combine inline/external JS/CSS) or ESI request please try use the default setting first, it should provide same level of speed as rewrite rule solution , then you can start to check out which option slows you down. Best regards, Im using default settings? Default settings take more time to load? When I turn off all kind of css, js settings, It loads a little bit fast then? But, still it is slow than the code which i use instead of this plugin,?. Problem is that, Im not able to use esi? When I set put esi code in Newspaper X theme code pages, those blocks break? i.e changing code like [flex_block_4] to [esi flex_block_4] will break the code to work and it will show code on page instead of rendering the block? Hi, for more as how much ? like what is average TTFB use rewrite rule and what is use plugin ?
