\nThe following is by my understanding.<\/p>\n
\nOnce a site gets busy, for instance a WordPress site, a cache can make the difference between the site being slow versus normal.<\/p>\n
\nOn my oldest WordPress site, which went up in 2012, I have always used LiteSpeed Cache, except for a couple of interruptions during updates. When I had to run the site without it, I really noticed how much slower it loaded. On that site, LiteSpeed Cache is the only plugin I use. (See my post from June 5, 2026<\/a> for some background thoughts about plugins.)<\/p>\n \nSo, LiteSpeed Cache is a plugin that I like. However, as I understand, in order to use the LiteSpeed cache, one needs to be hosted on a LiteSpeed server. (Perhaps that’s a slight oversimplification, but likely good enough for a starter’s perspective.) How does one discover if they are?<\/p>\n \nHere’s how I did so on Firefox:<\/p>\n \nThere are many potential directions to follow from this post. One motivation for finding if one’s on the LiteSpeed server is to discover whether using the LiteSpeed Cache is a possibility, perhaps even as a plugin if the site is WordPress.\n<\/p>\n \nFor follow-up I intend to mention corresponding directions relevant to Chrome and related browsers.<\/p>\n \nSource:<\/p>\n\n
