HostXNow’s WordPress Hosting, Shared Web Hosting, Semi Dedicated Hosting and Enterprise Reseller Hosting plans support the LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress (LSCWP) plugin at no additional cost. This plugin drastically improves the performance of WordPress installations in our environments.
In addition to our systems automatically attempting to optimize your sites with caching, you can manually enable, disable, and flag (block) installations for LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress or disabling or blocking LSCache is not recommended.
By disabling or blocking LSCache, your account's resource usage may be higher, which may mean you need to upgrade your hosting plan. We do not want you to spend more than you need to unnecessarily because caching was not used. So it’s best to leave the LSCache plugin installed.
