ESI shortcode ?
if ESI is not option , then you need to find a hook or something that fires when the date reaches to purge the cache
Hi
I am not familiar with ESI shortcode, so should do some study there. Shortcode is written by me, so can change, just need to figure out what to do. Please do share any examples/docs you may have.
Another option I am thinking of is to output this data via Ajax. “admin_ajax.php” is already excluded from caching/optimisation. But Ajax is a bit messier to implement

okay , ajax is good way to go
here is an example esi shortcode plugin I created before , create a file like wp-content/plugins/current-time/current-time.php with code:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Current time plugin
Description: Current time plugin
*/
defined('WPINC') || exit;
function check_lscwp_esi_status() {
if (!defined('LSCWP_V') || !apply_filters('litespeed_esi_status', false)) {
return;
} else {
add_action('litespeed_esi_load-current_time_esi_block', 'current_time_esi_block_esi_load');
}
}
add_action('init', 'check_lscwp_esi_status', 999);
function current_time_esi_block_esi_load() {
do_action('litespeed_control_set_nocache');
echo 'Time: ' . date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
}
function lscwp_esi_display_time_shortcode() {
return apply_filters('litespeed_esi_url', 'current_time_esi_block', 'Current time display ESI block');
}
function register_current_time_shortcode() {
add_shortcode('current_time', 'lscwp_esi_display_time_shortcode');
}
add_action('init', 'register_current_time_shortcode');
function display_current_time_noesi() {
return date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
}
function register_current_time_shortcode_noesi() {
add_shortcode('current_time_noesi', 'display_current_time_noesi');
}
add_action('init', 'register_current_time_shortcode_noesi');
then activate plugin , enable ESI in LiteSpeed plugin , add shortcode
[current_time] in a post , you will see page still cache hit while current time is reflecting in real time
