# Strange Stuff…

 * Seeing as I’m on a Litespeed enabled server, I thought I’d try Litespeed Cache
   out again.
    Stunning cache figures from the front page – using Brizy Page Builder
   to build an image-heavy website, and even though it’s not finished yet, I’m regularly
   getting sub one second loading times. I’m having to wait for WP-Cron to kick 
   in before my images get converted to .webP and really thats the only problem –
   the waiting around – however there is a strange thing that surfaced in LC. When
   I went to the optimisation tab and set a few things like CSS minify, JS minify
   and all the inline stuff, the load times went through the roof – usually around
   3-4 secs (with no images) as opposed to 1-1.5 secs as it is now, WITH images.
   So I ended up resetting all the settings and left the optimisation tab alone.
   Does the optimisation tab and minify also rely on WP-Cron, meaning I should have
   waited for the optimisation to kick in later, or is there a fault?

 * The optimisation and minify function do not require WP-Cron. May I know when 
   you calculate long loading time is that page not get cached yet?
 * If you turned ON optimisation and minify feature, it’s normal that the first 
   loading time will be longer because these functions require some loading time
   on parsing the script.

 * I tried it at the weekend just after I activated a new theme.
    Shortly after,
   I then activated the LSC minify tools, when the load time shot up from milliseconds
   to 3-4 seconds – meaning I reset everything

 * If you reset everything, the page should not be cached yet, could you please 
   provide [Report Number](https://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php/litespeed_wiki:cache:lscwp:environment-report)
   for us to take a look?

 * Well I don’t know about that, it’s been cached since late Sunday night I thought.
   
   Is there no real documentation for how to set this cache up? I’ve never known
   a plugin that needs so much attention as this one. Nevertheless I’ve sent a report
   number – **JOAKQMMM**

 * Hi,
 * Apologize for the inconvenience that you have experienced.
 * By designed , when you have JS/CSS minify/combined , only the first time , it
   generates on fly , which in most cases , this is negligible.
 * And after the optimized files are generated , it will saved to /wp-content/cache/
   css(js) directory for future access , which is redirected by rewrite rule which
   it will no longer need to regenerate it again.
 * If that process stalls long time , please enable advance [debug log ](https://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php/litespeed_wiki:cache:lscwp:configuration:debug)
   to your IP
 * the log will also log the time stamp , hopefully we can find what went wrong ,
   or why it takes so long.
 * Best regards,

 * Ok, so I’m going to launch another website in the next few days, I’ll use the
   same Litespeed server and document the speed before, during, and after Litespeed
   has generated the optimised files, and let you know.
