scyhost. How to speed up WordPress with LiteSpeed Cache
The server runs LiteSpeed, so the free LSCache plugin gives the biggest speed-up for the least effort.
- Install the plugin
In WordPress open Plugins → Add New, search for LiteSpeed Cache, click Install then Activate. - Enable caching
In LiteSpeed Cache → Cache make sure caching is on (Enable Cache). - Optimise images
Resize images to their displayed size before publishing. Oversized images are the most common reason for a slow site. - Check the PHP version
A current PHP version performs better. See how to change the version. - Remove the excess
Delete unused plugins and themes. Every active plugin adds load.
TipAfter major changes to the site, purge the cache (LiteSpeed Cache → Purge All) so visitors see the new version.
