Difference Between LiteMage Tiers
The LiteMage module is now available as a purchasable add-on to new and existing LiteSpeed Licenses and is tiered based on the number of cached objects you need. The LiteMage Cache extension for Magento will remain free to download from Magento Connect but requires the LiteMage module to work.
You can always try the ultra-fast LiteMage full page cache for free using our trial license. Overall, LiteSpeed + LiteMage will save you a ton on hardware costs while also achieving a high performance increase for your Magento store.
Please check our LiteMage pricing page for more info.
New LiteMage tiers are based on cached objects, what does this mean?
Public cached objects are counted by url. So if you have a unique url that can be cached, then it is counted as 1 object.
For example, layered navigation will have it's unique url, one category page with 10 different layered navigation will count as 11 objects. Also for view vary, like list view vs. grid view, also separate cached objects.
Our trial license provides unlimited cached objects for LiteMage.
How many public cache objects does a store use?
LiteMage pricing is now tiered by a limit on public cache objects per domain. How do I know how many public cache objects an account/domain uses?
This can be checked through LiteMage crawler in Magento Admin.
Magento Admin→ System → Cache Management → LiteMage Crawler Warm-up Status → List Size. If a store has multiple currencies/Languages, you may need to consider them when determining the total number of objects you need.
How to decide which license to choose?
A merchant does not have a running store yet or I don't have the ability to check through merchant magento admin page. How I can estimate how many cached objects required for his store?
There are only three tiers:Free/Standard/Large. You can guestimate based upon their stores size, number of languages, currencies and options. e.g. If you have 300 items for sale,and each has 2 configuration options that render different pages, in 10 languages…300X2X10=6000 so standard would be appropriate.
What happens if your site needs more cached objects than your license allows?
LiteMage Starter has a limit of 5,000 public cache objects and LiteMage Standard has a limit of 25,000. Once these limits are reached, further public cache objects will not be stored. Your site will still work without any problems, but it will only be partially cached.
Pages not cached will be served by Magento directly. These pages will load more slowly than those that were cached. Overall, your site being partially cached is still much better than having no cache.
We will display the number of the public cache objects in the Magento admin panel in a future release.
