AccelerateWP versus LiteSpeed Cache For WordPress on CloudLinux

[spaceman]

Hi All,

I notice that AccelerateWP is now available for CloudLinux (CL) servers running Litespeed:

AccelerateWP now available on LiteSpeed Servers!

We are thrilled to announce a significant enhancement for CloudLinux OS Shared Pro, Solo, and Admin users: AccelerateWP support on LiteSpeed servers.

But Litespeed includes its own LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress:

LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress - LiteSpeed Technologies

LSCache for WordPress is a FREE plugin that delivers maximum performance to your WP site. LSCWP is an All-in-One site acceleration solution. Cache Mobile Views & Logged-in Users; Image Optimization, WebP, Lazy Load; CSS/JS Combine, Minify, Critical CSS...

www.litespeedtech.com

We're currently running CL Standard, not Pro, and AccelerateWP runs on Pro, not Standard.

So I have to consider whether it's worth upgrading from CL Standard to CL Pro in order to be able to deploy AccelerateWP in favour of LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress.

(Doubtless it's a v bad idea (probably impossible?) to run both AccelerateWP and LiteSpeed Cache for WP at the same time!)

Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences to share in this regard?

Thanks,

Ross

This is prob. more of a question for the LSWS folks. Since LiteSpeed Cache is built by the LiteSpeed team, I would have a hard time believing that any 3rd party cache can work better.

I'm having the same question myself, specially since AccelerateWP Premium is so far, the only way to provide secure object cache for WordPress, in a shared hosting environment where cache is shared between all users, having potential security issues.

Still, we are trying to avoid having for offer a paid upgrade to pay the $ 1,2 per site AccelerateWP Premium costs.

Did anyone test Redis via Containers on CloudLinux?

Hopefully it works with LiteSpeed Cache plugin, so that we don't have to install another plugin to make it work.

very happy with LSCache, we disable accelerateWP on all our servers.

I've shared a suggestion with the LiteSpeed team to hopefully, they create something like their LSMCD memcached implementation, but for Redis.

If they are able to easily configure Redis ACL at cPanel, they would allow us to provide object cache to our WordPress clients, without having to migrate them to their own cloud server, or offering AccelerateWP Premium, which in our tests, run slower than when using LiteSpeed.

You can have per user redis compatible with Litespeed cache using third-party plugin
