Cache activation issue

[MrMister789]

Hello,

I am on CPanel in shared hosting, I try to activate the cache on my site but the htaccess configuration nothing changes, I would need help. (I am on a html site)

Here is my htaccess :

<IfModule LiteSpeed>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=Cache-Control:max-age=31536000]
</IfModule>

On the Google developer console:
I have

x-turbo-charged-by: LiteSpeed

And I especially::

cache-control: max-age=0

And at some point I have her:

cache-control: no-cache

I can't activate the cache at all, could someone help me?

If you are really on a .html site, Litespeed cache supports only dynamic generated pages like PHP but not static html pages. These headers are not Litespeed cache headers.

So I would have to delete LiteSpeed and switch to something more basic then? (Like Apache)

Because currently I have no cache is it necessarily impacts the website

This hasn't something to do if Litespeed is "basic" enough. Litespeed is a webser and Litespeed cache is a HTTP cache. Every HTTP cache like any other can only cache dynamic content and not static content. Read this and try to understand why Litespeed is better than any other webserver.

I know that LiteSpeed is better than the others everyone tells me, I am not saying LiteSpeed is basic, as you told me that you cannot put cache on static content I have to look for other cache solution.

Again, to get benefits of a cache you need dynamic generated content, not static. This is a condition of every HTTP cache, not only Litespeed. On your side I would check if Litespeed cache is available at your host. Generate a empty.php file and request it in browser. If you can see "x-litespeed-cache: hit/miss" header in browser dev console you can use Litespeed cache, but only with dynamic generated content. Or use Wordpress if you need a CMS. For WP there is a Litespeed cache plugin available.

Yes I do have "x-litespeed-cache: hit" when I am on a php page. The problem is I can't just change the cache of the images, before on apache I did an htaccess with a mod_expire and the images were cached and I could choose the cache time now I can't do that anymore that's the problem

Litespeed is Apache compatible, so you can use the same settings as with Apache.
