Hi, thanks for the message.
The thing to understand here is how this website determines whether or not a site supports LSCache, remotely.
Do you know how this is achieved?
Hi Paul,
Yes i tried to disable all features one by one yesterday and found out its the antibot feature blocking some of those bots lscache.io and gtmetrix was those I tested. Normally, security plugins have a section to exclude some parts of site. I saw that shieldpro has such feature too, but donno if it will help solving my issue or not 😕
Thanks

If you can locate the IP address of the services, then you could add the IP address to the whitelist/bypass lists. Have you tried that?
It should be noted that if all you’re referring to is the ability to check “remotely” whether something works, then that isn’t to say that Litespeed cache isn’t working – it’s saying the tool that checks whether it’s compatible/working isn’t working. Not the system itself.
Thanks for your reply. I found one of the service IPs, added to bypass list and tried again, good news is that service doesn’t face 403 error and header is showing 200 OK response, but still doesn’t detect that cache properly.
Also I really mean the system doesn’t work. Means litespeed caching doesn’t cache pages, until I disable Configuration > Block Bad IPs/Visitors feature.
As much as I could found on logs, for some reason (which is unknown to me as noob user :-D) the antibot feature blocks (either access to it or working of ) litespeed-cache/guest.vary.php
[again sorry for my lack of knowledge, as I liked your plugin, I just wanna use it, also I understand that as a free user I am getting more than expected support, So thank you again.]

I suspect that the caching is smart enough to recognise that there are dynamic elements on the page when you have antibot enabled. This is part of the issue with WordPress page caching… if you want a dynamic site, such as that based on WordPress, then page caching is complex to implement and not always entirely appropriate.
What is the particular plugin you’re using and I can take a closer look? Maybe there are ways to integrate with it. It’s not common for caching plugins to provide this, but I can look.
I am using litespeed cache which is provided by hosting.
