BEST CACHE PLUGIN – enterprise performance, features, reliability

I’ve been using LiteSpeed server for over 10 years, LiteSpeed cache for nearly 10 years (almost since the beginning). They keep developing and innovating, nothing else even comes close.

Works great with Hostinger

Works great with Hostinger. I’ve had to toy with a few of the settings to get the optimized results I was looking for but that was easy to do.

High Risk

My site has been infected by a virus through this plugin. google-site-verification meta tags has been added to all pages granting owner access to my Search engine console panel.
