We've opted for LiteSpeed as the web server across all our shared servers, departing from the typical Apache choice. One advantage of LiteSpeed is its built-in caching feature. Although this enhances performance, some users might prefer to deactivate this cache to use a different caching system or prevent caching of the website altogether.
We automatically install the LiteSpeed Cache plugin if we do not detect another caching plugin installed.
Disable LiteSpeed Cache with plugin installed.
If you have the LiteSpeed Cache plugin installed and would like to disable it click on LiteSpeed Cache in the main menu then Cache. Now find the toggle option that says Enable Cahce and make sure its toggled to off.
