How to integrate LiteSpeed into Joomla

This tutorial explains how to integrate LiteSpeed Cache into Joomla via plugin.

Step 1: Enable LiteSpeed Cache in your cPanel

Step 2: Deactivate any other full-page cache modules (such as “System - Page Cache” “JotCache” etc).

Step 3: Cache lookup -- Modify the .htaccess file in the Joomla site directory, adding the following directives:

<IfModule LiteSpeed>
CacheLookup on
</IfModule>

Step 4: Install the plugin from Administrator menu -> Extensions -> Manage -> Install

1) Download the LiteSpeed plugin for Joomla from here
2) Click browse files in Extensions -> Manage -> Install and upload the plugin (downloaded zip)

Step 5: Enable the plugin from Extensions -> Plugins

If you need to make any changes to the LiteSpeed Cache configuration for Joomla, the settings can be found in Components -> LiteSpeed Cache.

Step 6: Verify that LiteSpeed cache is enabled for your Joomla site

In Chrome, open developer tools and under "Network" tab, check the response header. If you see "X-litespeed-Cache-cache: hit" this means that LiteSpeed Cache is successfully integrated into your Joomla site.
