Speeding up your Joomla website with LiteSpeed Cache

Joomla websites are often bogged down by slow load speeds, but some factors can help improve the speed of your site. Poor hosting and bloatware code will make things take longer to process on a server, but utilizing Joomla LSCache plugin from a Fast Joomla hosting provider guarantees speedy sites for you!

Joomla’s native caching plugin is not the best solution for enhancing site performance

Joomla has long had a built-in caching plugin. Caching helps your site by preventing page content from needlessly having to be dynamically written by the server each and every time the page loads, which can make pages load much more slowly if it's not in place on your website. All of this places unnecessarily load on your hosting server without LiteSpeed hosting available!

If you are using LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise on your host and have not enabled their caching engine, I implore you to do so. Using Joomla’s native cache plugin won't create a connection with the one that is built in within LiteSpeed, resulting in outdated content being delivered to visitors of your website. Instantly see benefits by enabling it!

The LSCache extension is an easy way to speed up your Joomla website

Joomla site owners using the LSCache extension will have much less need to worry about optimizing their content for search engine crawlers, as this suite of tools includes LiteSpeed Web Server which is designed from ground up with speed in mind. The installation should be a breeze and your visitors are sure to notice that you’ve updated often since all cached pages react quickly even when under heavy load.

The installation package includes a component, plugin, module and ESI template that manage public cache on the same page.

Your site will load faster and be ready to go immediately with LiteSpeed Cache. You can also configure the extension's options for your unique needs under Components > LiteSpeed Cache > click on "Options."

These options are really only an issue if you're running a membership site with lots of logged-in users. If that's the case, make sure to adjust your settings under the "Logged-In Users" tab where we recommend enabling "...Purge All on Plugin Update". Otherwise, these defaults can be left at their default setting and will work perfectly fine for most sites.

In the event of live website maintenance, you can easily purge your cache by clicking on “Purge All Cache” button under any section from LiteSpeed Components. See the documentation on LiteSpeed's site for additional information.
