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.

Awesome! REST-API 4x speedup!

Though I’d like a revamp of the UI the result of filtering our REST-API and REST-API WC plugins makes a TON of difference. We went from updating 3000+ products in 60mins to updating them in 15mins.
