  • Litespeed cache plugin now support Nginx web server.

Hello everyone

Litespeed cache plugin is the free/open source and one of best cache plugin on the WP repository https://wordpress.org/plugins/litespeed-cache/ . It's support Nginx web server now and I would like to use it on WordOps server.

Litespeed supports both page cache and object cache- /redis/memcached

Quenstion: Which type of cache should I choose when install WP on WordOps server, --wpfc?

Litespeed cache now support Nginx so I guess many of you don't need wp-rocket anymore

3 years later

This is a great question! It's the answer I was looking for. It's a pity that it remained unanswered. I hope that three years later an answer will be found for it.))
Thank in advance!

It doesn't do page caching unless you're using Litespeed web server, so yes, you still need --wpfc if you want a page cache. It also doesn't provide the object cache, it only supports one, so if you want to use an object cache you still need to set that up (presumably it replaces the Redis Object Cache plugin).

I use the Litespeed cache plugin with WordOps --redis mode and Nginx helper in Redis mode now.
Possibly in the --wpfc mode it will be more effective. I haven't tried it...

I tried all the cache plugins and concluded that Litespeed cache is the best, even paid WP-Rocket losses.
Given that Litespeed cache supports Nginx, it would be nice if the developers included this plugin in the list of Nginx modes for full support.

    There's nothing to support. As I said above it doesn't actually do anything caching related on Nginx, so wpfc is the mode.

    The plugin doesn't do actually do any page caching with any server. It interfaces with Litespeed Server to purge cache etc when it needs to (but it's Litespeed Server doing the page caching - same as Nginx does).

    The plugin authors don't claim it supports Nginx - they just say it works on Nginx (and Apache), i.e. some of the other features work, not anything caching related.

    You need to compare like with like to draw any useful conclusion. Some cache plugins actually do page caching, some just interface with the server level caching, some also do optimisation stuff. Then there are plugins that just do optimisation stuff and don't do caching. It also depends greatly on your particular use case.
