When a WordPress site has to keep its data in Canada, putting LiteSpeed and the LiteSpeed Cache plugin on a Canadian box is only part of the job. I still walk through a few places content can leave the country.
Cache and optimization come first. I check where LSCache, image optimization, and any CDN store copies. A Canadian origin with a foreign cache or image-optimization endpoint can still move visitor or page data across the border.
Backups are next. A local daily backup is useful, but if the remote destination is outside Canada, the residency promise is already broken. I want to know where backups are written and that a restore test reads from that same region.
Mail and logs matter too. If the site sends mail through the server, are the mailboxes themselves in-country? Do access logs, cache reports, or similar services keep copies somewhere else?
For WordPress I also look at uploads, object cache, search indexes, and whether any plugin phones home with customer content. Staging copies should stay in-country as well.
I would like to hear what other people verify on LiteSpeed for this. Do you keep LSCache and image optimization in-region? Where do you send remote backups? What else do you check before you call a Canadian WordPress + LiteSpeed setup ready?
