The Litespeed plugin for WordPress will work far better than Super Cache, Total Cache or other cache plugins can, as it runs on the server level rather than just the WordPress level.


Step 1 - Log in to WordPress and add a new plugin

Step 2 - Find the plugin and click Install Now

Click Activate to enable Litespeed

Step 3 - Next, you need to log in to cPanel and edit your .htaccess file (click here for a guide) to remove the default config.


One: Delete this text

## LITESPEED WP CACHE PLUGIN - Do not edit the contents of this block! ##

RewriteEngine on
CacheLookup on
RewriteRule .* - [E=Cache-Control:no-autoflush]
RewriteRule min/\w+\.(css|js) - [E=cache-control:no-vary]
### marker CACHE RESOURCE start ###
RewriteRule wp-content/.*/[^/]*(responsive|css|js|dynamic|loader|fonts)\.php - [E=cache-control:max-age=3600]
### marker CACHE RESOURCE end ###
### marker FAVICON start ###
RewriteRule favicon\.ico$ - [E=cache-control:max-age=86400]
### marker FAVICON end ###

## LITESPEED WP CACHE PLUGIN - Do not edit the contents of this block! ##
# END LSCACHE
# BEGIN NON_LSCACHE
## LITESPEED WP CACHE PLUGIN - Do not edit the contents of this block! ##
## LITESPEED WP CACHE PLUGIN - Do not edit the contents of this block! ##
# END NON_LSCACHE



Two: Add this text to the top

# BEGIN LSCACHE

CacheEnable public /
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(HEAD|GET)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(wp-admin|wp-login.php|wp-cron.php)
RewriteRule .* - [E=Cache-Control:max-age=120]

# END NON_LSCACHE



The page should look like this.

# BEGIN LSCACHE

CacheEnable public /
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(HEAD|GET)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(wp-admin|wp-login.php|wp-cron.php)
RewriteRule .* - [E=Cache-Control:max-age=120]

# END NON_LSCACHE
# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Hit Save. Litespeed Cache is now installed and Working :)
