Wordpress LScache Plugin: Website requesting missing minified css/js files causes complete failure
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hello, I have a huge problem with LiteSpeed Cache plugin since my websites are constantly requesting minified css/js files that are missing. OpenLiteSpeed 1.6.12 LiteSpeed Cache v3.0.8.5 The issue: Website is requesting css/js files with wrong names that there are on the server. For example the requests in the browser I have are: wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/ecca5.js Request Method: GET Status Code: 404 wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/16d73.js Request Method: GET Status Code: 404 litespeed/cssjs/9652e.css Request Method: GET Status Code: 404 But the files on the webserver are: ls -ga wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/ drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody 4096 May 3 08:54 . -rw-r?r? 1 nobody 593026 May 3 08:52 00179.css -rw-r?r? 1 nobody 662201 May 3 08:52 3bca0.js -rw-r?r? 1 nobody 9959 May 3 08:52 54e63.js -rw-r?r? 1 nobody 606692 May 3 08:54 81600.css -rw-r?r? 1 nobody 664004 May 3 08:54 e0f94.js When I purge the caches, new files are created on the webserver, but the browser is still requesting the old ones. This is NOT fixed by disabling LS Cache, NOT fixed restarting openlitespeed or killing all lsphp. Browsers keep requesting the same missing minified js/css and my website is broken. Any help is appreciated. Hi, When you say purge the caches, which cache you purged ? did you purge all ? purge all should clean up both page cache and CSS/JS cache , and generates new file with new names please try this : 1. disable LSCWP 2. restart OLS 3. check if everything is fine 4. now enable LSCWP 5. restart OLS after restart 6. check again if everything is fine. Best regards, Hello, Thank you for your reply. Sadly, I do not know how and why, but the website is broken even after deleting LS Cache plugin and restarting everything. Really frustrating. I am now downloading LS Cache 2.9.9.2 to test if this can fix the problem. Hi, You mean even you disabled LSCWP, you still seeing /wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/xxxxx request ? check the main requests header , see if you still seeing x-litespeed-cache: hit Best regards, Hi, Yes, I have disabled and deleted everything LSCWP related and still seeing the requests (I have hidden my domain/IP). This is in incognito mode with developers tools and cache disabled: General Request URL: https://hidden/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/16d73.js Request Method: GET Status Code: 404 Remote Address: hidden Referrer Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade Response Headers alt-svc: quic= :443 ma=2592000 v= 43,46 , h3-Q043= :443 ma=2592000, h3-Q046= :443 ma=2592000, h3-Q050= :443 ma=2592000, h3-25= :443 ma=2592000, h3-27= :443 ma=2592000 cache-control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0 content-encoding: gzip content-type: text/html charset=UTF-8 date: Sun, 03 May 2020 14:49:01 GMT expires: Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT link:
