Hello Diego,

To answer your questions in order:
1. The previous FastCloud Extra service was based on Apache + Cachewall setup with a reverse-proxy functionality.
2. The tutorial in question is still valid as there are no issues in that setup being used with LiteSpeed. In testing, we still see speed increase results after using the steps in the tutorial.
3. As cashing solutions in combinations with custom themes are sometimes very site-specific (which is also why we have no tutorial on this), there might be cases in which using the following page optimization settings may break or change the behavior of some website elements:

* Minify HTML, CSS, JS
* Load CSS asynchronously
* Load JS deferred

In case you wish to use those specific settings, we advice you enable them one by one and test after each change to see if your website still behaves as it is suppose to. The rest of the settings inside the WordPress LiteSpeed Cache Plugin should work without any issues as most of them are based on the lazyload optimization technique.

I hope this information proves useful to you in making your website load even faster.

Hello Patricia,

Thank you for the question and apologies for the late reply here. I see that our technical team immediately answered your concerns in the ticket opened for the upgrade of your hosting account before the actual change and provided you with extensive information regarding the specifications of the new environment, as well as the move of data and propagation of your website.

If you have other questions, specific to the LiteSpeed product which were not mentioned in the post, feel free to ask them as replies to this comment.

Before the litespeed update I used your old optimisation tutorial with good results on FastCloud Extra.
https://www.fastcomet.com/tutorials/wordpress/optimizing-performance

But this seems now redundant with the new Litespeed webserver and the Litespeed WordPress plugin. Why was the old tutorial not updated?

1. On what webserver was the old Fastcloud Extra based?
2. What do I need to adjust now? Is the old quide (https://www.fastcomet.com/tutorials/wordpress/optimizing-performance ) redundant? And do I need to reverse those changes? I haven’t seen any errors with the new litespeed server though.
3. Divi: Many of the WP Litespeed Cache Plugin settings are also in the new Divi like CSS minify and combination etc.. Do you have a tutorial on how to integrate Divi theme and WP litespeed plugin in the best way possible?

Thanks,
Diego

Hello Hameed,

WP Rocket’s file-based caching is slower than LiteSpeed Cache’s server-side caching. Switching to LiteSpeed may enhance your core web vital scores. Faster caching can also result in a noticeable speed boost when browsing pages. Furthermore, WP Rocket is not compatible with Cloudflare’s Automatic Platform Optimizations (APO), while LiteSpeed Cache is. I believe this information should help you with the decision at hand.
