\"LiteSpeed<\/p>\n

If you are stuck on choosing a cache plugin for your WordPress site let\u2019s make things a little bit easier for you. Today we are comparing the features and costs of LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress<\/a> and WP Super Cache<\/a>. We\u2019ll talk about how each plugin works, and then we\u2019ll share a side-by side comparison of features.<\/p>\n

LiteSpeed Cache vs. WP Super Cache<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s start by discussing each plugin\u2019s caching capabilities, ecommerce compatibility, premium services, and costs.<\/p>\n

Caching<\/h3>\n

Both plugins provide full-page caching for WordPress. Page caching is essential for a WordPress site, as it allows static snapshots to be generated and saved for the dynamically-generated page. It\u2019s significantly faster to server static content than it is to wait for WordPress and PHP to assemble content dynamically. Most WP pages are exactly the same each time they are built, so using these snapshots makes sense, and delivers a much-improved user experience to the site\u2019s visitors.<\/p>\n

How Caching Works<\/h4>\n

Generating a page cache for WordPress is not always straightforward. Some sites have significant customization or areas of private content, which means a single cached copy of each page will not be enough to cover the needs of every visitor. Both LSCache and WP Super Cache have ways of addressing these scenarios, some of which are more effective than others.<\/p>\n

WP Super Cache<\/h5>\n

WP Super Cache provides three methods of page caching: Simple<\/strong>, Expert<\/strong>, and WP-Cache<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Simple and Expert methods produce what they call \u201csupercached\u201d static HTML files, while WP-Cache produces a sort of hybrid that allows for some dynamic content to be included on the page.<\/p>\n

WP-Cache<\/strong> is mainly used to cache pages for logged-in users, those who leave comments, or those who will have private content displayed on the page. It can also be used to cache feeds, and URLs with parameters. It is the slowest caching mode of the three.<\/p>\n

Expert<\/strong> mode makes use of rewrite rules in a site\u2019s .htaccess<\/code> file. It completely bypasses PHP and serves \u201csupercached\u201d static HTML. This is the fastest WP Super Cache mode.<\/p>\n

Simple<\/strong> mode is similar to Expert in that it serves so-called supercached files, however rewrite rules are not involved. The content is served instead by PHP. The plugin authors recommend using Simple mode as it is easier to set up than Expert mode and doesn\u2019t involve editing .htaccess<\/code>, though it does result in serving content more slowly than in Expert mode.<\/p>\n

Caching with LiteSpeed<\/h5>\n

LiteSpeed Cache is a lot like WP Super Cache\u2019s Expert mode, but with one important difference: the plugin is not actually<\/em> doing the caching. The basic LSCache functions are carried out by LiteSpeed Web Server\u2019s built in cache module. The plugin is provided as an easy way for WordPress to communicate with the cache engine, but it doesn\u2019t execute any of the caching tasks, and the cache files themselves are not stored within the WordPress file structure.<\/p>\n

Like WP Super Cache\u2019s Expert mode, LiteSpeed Cache uses .htaccess<\/code> rewrite rules and completely bypasses the use of PHP. It is preferred to avoid PHP because of its expensive overhead.<\/p>\n

LiteSpeed can cache private content<\/strong> for logged-in users, and can include dynamic content<\/strong> on otherwise static pages, similar to WP Super Cache\u2019s WP-Cache mode, but more flexible. We\u2019ll go into more detail about how each plugin does this when we discuss eCommerce, although the concepts apply to any area of your WordPress site, not just shopping carts.<\/p>\n

Purging Cache on Demand<\/h4>\n

Both plugins require you to specify an expiration time or TTL (Time to Live) for content. This is a default number of seconds that cached content is considered fresh. Sometimes, though, content must be purged from the cache before it reaches its natural expiration.<\/p>\n

WP Super Cache<\/h5>\n

If a post is modified or a comment is posted, the static HTML copy of the post page is automatically deleted. Admin users may also choose to manually delete the entire cache.<\/p>\n

LiteSpeed<\/h5>\n

LiteSpeed, too, purges the static HTML copy of any post that has been modified, but it also goes a step further. Because of the plugin\u2019s tight integration with the server on one end, and with WordPress on the other, LSCache remembers things about the cache entries that other plugins cannot, and it is able to act efficiently when content changes. When content is created or edited and must be purged from the cache, LSCache uses a tag-based system to identify related content that must also<\/em> be purged. In this way, there is never too much or too little removed from the cache. It is also possible to manually purge the entire cache or a single page, if desired.<\/p>\n

Handling Expired and Purged Cache<\/h4>\n

No matter which plugin you use, there will be a cache directory on your server that continually fills up and takes up space. Let\u2019s look at how each of the plugins cleans up after itself.<\/p>\n

WP Super Cache<\/h5>\n

With WP Super Cache, you set a schedule for garbage collection. A job runs on the specified schedule, deleting expired static HTML files from the cache directory.<\/p>\n

LiteSpeed<\/h5>\n

LiteSpeed\u2019s garbage collection works differently. Because tags are tracked and stored in shared memory, the server has an efficient way of determining when a page needs to be deleted from cache. When the LiteSpeed server receives the purge header, it simply marks the related tags as \u201cpurged\u201d but does not actually delete the files on the file system. This is to avoid heavy disk I\/O while serving the response.<\/p>\n

LiteSpeed Server will deal with the outdated entries during non-busy CPU cycles and delete files in small batches with minimum side effects.<\/p>\n

Cache Varies<\/h4>\n

Both plugins allow multiple public cache versions of a single page, for certain situations.<\/p>\n

WP Super Cache<\/h5>\n

WP Super Cache has support for mobile browsers. If you have a non-responsive desktop theme and are using a separate theme for mobile traffic, you can enable this option to have two copies of each page stored in cache: one for desktop visitors, and one for mobile.<\/p>\n

LiteSpeed<\/h5>\n

You can have multiple cache copies (aka \u201ccache varies\u201d) in LiteSpeed as well, but it is more sophisticated than simply mobile vs. desktop. LiteSpeed\u2019s server-side cache engine allows it to use vary cookies to serve multiple versions of cached content based on things like geographic location, cookie, and user group. There is enormous flexibility in the LiteSpeed cache vary system.<\/p>\n

Cache Preloading and Rebuilding<\/h4>\n

WP Super Cache and LiteSpeed Cache both have the ability to preload the cache. Cache crawlers traverse the site, caching any pages that are not currently cached, and minimizing the possibility of a visitor having to wait for any pages to be dynamically assembled.<\/p>\n

Wp Super Cache<\/h5>\n

WP Super Cache\u2019s crawler simulates an unknown user on a desktop computer. If Cache Rebuild is enabled, garbage collection is turned off while the crawler runs so that an existing supercache file may be served to visitors on very busy sites while a new file is being generated.<\/p>\n

LiteSpeed<\/h5>\n

LiteSpeed Cache\u2019s crawler also simulates a non-logged-in desktop user visit by default, but may be configured to crawl as a mobile user as well. Additionally, for sites that employ user-group-based cache varies (i.e. retail customers vs. wholesale customers), or cookie-based varies (i.e. visitors with an affiliate cookie), the cache may be crawled simulating a logged-in user from any particular user group, or a user with a particular cookie. If you have the resources available, you could theoretically have dozens of crawlers going at once, simulating all sorts of user interactions.<\/p>\n

Compression<\/h4>\n

Both plugins cache and serve compressed content. WPSC supports gzip compression, while LiteSpeed supports both gzip and brotli.<\/p>\n

eCommerce<\/h3>\n

When you run an online shop, there are necessarily going to be pages (and sections of pages) that can\u2019t be stored in the public cache. Shopping cart pages and last-viewed product widgets, are good examples of this.<\/p>\n

Handling Private Content with WP Super Cache<\/h4>\n

WP Super Cache recommends using JavaScript for generating dynamic content, as JS doesn\u2019t interfere with caching. This is a good idea and true for any cache plugin.<\/p>\n

If JS is not an option, WPSC allows you to use a WordPress filter called wpsc_cachedata<\/code> along with placeholder tags. The placeholders can be replaced with dynamically-generated HTML, and may be used for any content from a simple string to a shopping cart.<\/p>\n

As this solution requires the use of a WordPress filter, it\u2019s mostly aimed at developers who want to make their plugins compatible with WP Super Cache. Also, keep in mind that this dynamic content is not cached, which will slow down the serving of the page considerably.<\/p>\n

Handling Private Content with LiteSpeed<\/h4>\n

LiteSpeed allows you to cache WooCommerce and other pages that contain mixed content. With ESI (Edge Side Includes), holes are punched on a public page, and are filled with shopping cart data and other private content. Then, the mixed-content page can be served to the shopper, fully cached.<\/p>\n

This hole-punching behavior is built in to LSCache and is automated for WooCommerce, and some other popular plugins. Conveniently, ESI can be configured by site admins for use with any widget or shortcode. Developers may also choose to have their plugins support ESI natively through the LiteSpeed API.<\/p>\n

Optimization<\/h3>\n

If you use site evaluation tools, like Google\u2019s PageSpeed Insights, or GTmetrix, you\u2019ll want a nice selection of optimization features in order to implement the tool\u2019s suggested site improvements.<\/p>\n

WPSC does not offer any optimization features aside from CDN support.<\/p>\n

LSCache, however, includes CDN support, database optimization, minification and combination of JavaScript and CSS, HTTP\/2 push, lazy load, and a variety of other popular optimization features, as shown in the table below. If you want to improve your PageSpeed score without installing additional plugins, LiteSpeed is the better choice.<\/p>\n

Premium Services<\/h3>\n

WP Super Cache does not offer any extra premium services.<\/p>\n

LiteSpeed Cache offers Image Optimization, Critical CSS Generation, and Lazy Load Responsive Placeholder Generation, all for free. These services are performed remotely on LiteSpeed\u2019s own servers so as not to put any extra load on yours.<\/p>\n

Cost<\/h3>\n

WP Super Cache is 100% free.<\/p>\n

The LiteSpeed Cache plugin is also free, however a LiteSpeed web server is required in order to use the server-side cache, and there may be costs there, depending on your needs. There is a free, open source version (OpenLiteSpeed<\/a>), or you can get an Enterprise license<\/a>. License pricing ranges from Free for single site owners, to $96\/month for large hosting companies, with several levels in between.<\/p>\n

Feature Comparison<\/h2>\n
