Puzzled: Litespeed cache slower than WP Fastest Cache + Autoptimize

    Hi,
    I yesterday realized that the hosting company for a site I manage used Litespeed servers. I have one other site on the different hosting and there Litespeed cache worked wonders. But not this time. The hosting company is a high profile one, the account has 2048MB PHP memory and the hosting company is considered a very serious one.

    Previously I used WP Fastest Cache (free) + Autoptimize (free) with the best practice settings. I disabled them and installed Litespeed plugin from the WordPress repo. I fiddled around with the settings (overwhelming for a beginner) but I got it working decently, though I got the feeling that it got less fast rather than faster. I benchmarked with GTMatrix the site with WP Fastest Cache + Autoptimize and with Litespeed plugin. The Litespeed plugin site was 1,5 – 2 seconds slower. Appr the same ratings. This puzzles me. The party crashed, me thinking that Litespeed, wow, speedy speedy. But no.

    What would be the way forward troubleshooting? Does Litespeed accept being beat by two free plugins? ?? I thought, Gzip aha! But then read that it is built-in in Litespeed server.

    I just updated PHP version from 7.2 to 7.4 but haven’t enabled Litespeed plugin for some more benchmarking this evening. Does PHP version influence how Litespeed cache works? My guess would be no.

    Any help appreciated.

    Where is Litespeed cache looking for other cache plugins? Database or files or?

    Hi,

    It checks for file /wp-content/advanced-cache.php

    if you have that file , please rename or remove it.

    Clarification, this had nothing to do with Litespeed Cache.
