How to Speed Up WordPress on LiteSpeed Hosting

Our servers run the LiteSpeed web server on NVMe SSD storage, which already makes WordPress fast. These steps squeeze out the rest — most take under five minutes.

1. Install LiteSpeed Cache

  1. In WordPress go to Plugins → Add New, search for LiteSpeed Cache, install and activate it.
  2. Open LiteSpeed Cache → Cache and make sure Enable Cache is on.
  3. Under Page Optimization, enable CSS and JS minify. Test your site after each change.
  4. Enable Lazy Load Images in the Media settings.
Why it works: LSCache stores ready-made pages at server level, so visitors get a page without WordPress running PHP and database queries each time.

2. Optimize images

  • Resize photos before uploading — a 4000-pixel photo is never needed on a website.
  • Use WebP images (LiteSpeed Cache can generate them in Image Optimization).

3. Use a recent PHP version

In cPanel open Software → Select PHP Version (or MultiPHP Manager) and choose the newest version your theme and plugins support. Newer PHP is noticeably faster.

4. Quick wins

  • Remove plugins you don't use — every active plugin adds work.
  • Choose a lightweight theme.
  • Keep WordPress, themes and plugins updated.
  • Limit external scripts (chat widgets, trackers) to what you really need.
  • Use Cloudflare or another CDN if most of your visitors are far away.

5. Measure

Check your site with Google PageSpeed Insights before and after. You can also test the connection to our server with the live speed test on our homepage.
