Support » Plugin: Super Page Cache for Cloudflare » This Plugin Recommends Turn LiteSpeed Cache Plugin to Off, So Need the Latter?

  • We spent a lot of time configuring the LiteSpeed Cache plugin for our website. However,WP Cloudflare Super Page Cache advises to turn the cache function of LiteSpeed to ‘off’.

    We have done that. Now it states: “WARNING: LSCache caching functions on this page are currently unavailable! Please enable LiteSpeed Cache in the plugin settings.”

    1. Will it negatively affect our site in any way if we turn LiteSpeed cache off?

    2. If we are turning LiteSpeed’s cache to off, is there any need for us to keep the ‘LiteSpeed Cache’ WordPress plugin? Or are there any functions that the plugin will still have that are beneficial for us?

    Thanks a million. I’m grateful for your assistance.

    Hi @azaminfo,
    Please note that LS Cache is a disk page caching system. This plugin is also a page caching plugin which provides both disk and CDN level caching.

    Now that being said, when using this plugin it is highly recommended to enable the Fallback Cache option which is basically a disk-level caching.

    First of all, you should never use more than one page caching plugin as they will conflict with each other. Also using this plugin with disk + cdn caching means it can update delete cache wen needed something which can’t be done if a different page caching plugin is being used.

    That being said we always recommend you to use other optimization plugins like autoptimize, perfmatters, shortpixels etc for static file optization like css, js images. But these are not page caching plugins.

    P.S.: When you disable litespeed cache, you can also remove the respective wordpress plugin i.e. Litespeed Cache.

    Curious to hear more about this concern.

    LiteSpeed cache is always improving and works directly with the server.

    Seems that disabling that would do more harm than good caching-wise.

    Thoughts or testing done in this regard?

    Hi @hackrepair,
    as per your test if you think LS Cache is giving you better caching and on time conditional and related cache purging (like when you update an article purge that article cache along with the cache of the pages where that article might show up) then it’s fine.

    Just install and activate the plugin and don’t enable the Fallback Cache (as LS cache will be handling your page caching). Just use it for Cloudflare CDN cache. This plugin is highly customizable so that you can use it the way it suits you.

    As far as I can tell, Cache -> Fallback Page Caching
    is disabled by default.

    So with LiteSpeed, no action is needed on a new installation?

    Any other tweaks specific to LiteSpeed do you recommend?

    – No, not that I can think of.
