Wordpress LScache Plugin: is cache working properly?
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Ive see this for testing to see if cache is active: https://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php/litespeed_wiki:cache:lscwp:installation#testing On our site, when viewing the headers after refreshing, Im seeing these 2 results: Cache-Control: no-cache x-litespeed-cache: hit,private Is this normal? Im not sure why its stating cache is private. Id like to have a new user get a fully cached page when they first reach site. I know I have autoptimize installed, but no other cache related plugins. Is there somewhere I should be looking if cache is not working properly? Thanks for any help with this. The page I need help with: https://www.healthyhouseclub.com Hi, For that you will need to enable ESI. its private because its for individual user as it may have some user-depended content,like username or something. And on opposite , there is also a public cache for everyone to see the same content. The best solution for that is ESI , it allows to show private content within a public cache. More details please visit this blog Best regards, @CacheCrawler ? thanks for the reply. Ive seen the documentation for ESI. For parts of a page I dont want cached, I use ajax. Im assuming this will work fine with LiteSpeed Cache. The parts of site which are very dynamic, I plan to exclude altogether (AffiliateWP user area, etc.). I do use WooCommerce, so Im not sure if this is activating private cache. So, Im fine with pages getting cached. Is there a method to have pages publicly cached at all times? Thanks for any suggestions. Hi, In manage tab or admin-bar , there are an option to purge all. For WooC, Id suggest you enable ESI. Best regards, So we should enable ESI when using WooCommerce. Thats good to know as I have not seen that before in your documentation. Thanks for the help. Good point about the documentation, @andrew55. Ive updated the WooCommerce Settings section of the LSCWP wiki. Thanks. Thank you for clarifying everything. Hi, Im gonna mark this as resolved. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Best regards, Ruikai.
