Shared Hosting Questions

    Hello.

    I would like to ask a technical question about Shared Hosting and limitations.

    ALL shared hosting plans have limitations, some companies publish them, some hide them from their customers.

    One major limitation is “entry processes”. For example i have a limit of 20.

    My question: “traditional” page caching plugins create a static html page and display that in each request. And HTML pages do NOT count as entry processes in php. So there is a great benefit also from that. No limitations (almost).

    I don’t know how Litespeed cache works. What happens everytime a page (cached) is requested ? Is an entry process initiated ?

    Also is there any php involved ? Since if you use a caching plugin in mod_rewrite mode (and not php), there is no php involved ?

    All in all, what happens when a cached page is called ?

    Thanks

    Hi @massimod,

    Our cache plugin will not trigger PHP. It is very similar to html page caches, except the benefit of LiteSpeed Cache is the server is aware of how the cached pages are stored.

    If you want the fine details, I can explain further in this paragraph. Else you can skip it. The server stores the cache pages as static files and keeps a hash table with extra information about each stored page. The extra information allows us to purge pages more effectively as well as allows us to further improve the cache if needed.

    Let me know if you have any more questions about this!

    Thanks and no i don’t want more details. It is enough to know that no php is used and apparently no entry process is started.
