What is LiteSpeed Web Cache Manager
LiteSpeed Web Cache Manager is the central cPanel tool for managing the cache provided by LiteSpeed Enterprise Web Server.
LiteSpeed caching technology temporarily stores static and dynamic data so that it can be served instantly without being regenerated by PHP or the database.
Konet uses LiteSpeed Enterprise Web Server on all its servers, delivering performance up to 10 times faster than Apache, especially for WordPress and WooCommerce websites. For an even faster e-shop, see how to disable WooCommerce Ajax Cart Fragments.
How it works
The LiteSpeed caching system creates temporary copies of pages (cached copies) for each visitor.
When a user visits the page again, the content is served instantly from the cache instead of running the PHP code again.
This drastically reduces CPU, RAM and MySQL query usage.
How to use it in cPanel

Log in to cPanel.
-
Go to the LiteSpeed Web Cache section and select LiteSpeed Web Cache Manager.
-
If caching is not enabled, click Enable Cache.
