About LSCache
Flexible and customizable, LSCache provides a simple but highly effective way to deliver your content, FAST.
What is Cache?
Website applications with dynamically generated content can be slow. They often require database queries and script executions before they can generate the HTML that is ultimately served to a visitor. This kind of CPU-intensive work, request after request, can slow a website down dramatically.
Caching, however, saves the day! What if your web app only had to generate a requested page once? And the resulting HTML could be saved and used for subsequent requests? That is caching, in a nutshell. It’s a way to save a static HTML snapshot of dynamic content, so that it doesn’t need to be generated again. Requests can be served immediately, which is important for visitor retention and for search engine page ranking.
What is an LSCache Plugin
LSCache is LiteSpeed’s cache engine module, which ships with every LiteSpeed server product. An LSCache plugin provides an interface for your web application’s own familiar admin panel. From there you can instruct the cache engine how to handle your app’s content.
Which pages should be cached? And for how long? And what events trigger a cache purge? LSCache plugins give you the control to answer these questions for your app.
There’s an LSCache plugin for many popular web applications. Take a look!

Web Server/ADC/CDN
Unlike most other caching solutions, LSCache is built directly into LiteSpeed server products. Being an integral part of the server gives LSCache the ability to analyze dependencies, making intelligent caching and purging possible.
LSCache Engine
LiteSpeed's powerful cache engine module is the center of the operation. Content is cached and purged at this level according to the instructions the module receives from rewrite rules, HTTP headers, or LSCache plugins.
LSCache Plugin
LSCache plugins exist for many popular applications, such as WordPress, Magento, and Joomla. These plugins apply CMS knowledge to cache rules, and communicate the appropriate instructions to the LSCache Engine.
