-====== LiteSpeed Cache for Joomla ======
+====== LiteSpeed Cache for Joomla with VirtueMart support ======
+LiteSpeed's LSCache for Joomla is a high performance, low cost, user friendly cache extension for Joomla v3.x+ sites running on a LiteSpeed web server. It will tremendously speed up your site, and reduce server load with minimal management efforts.
-The LiteSpeed Cache plugin is a high-performance cache component for Joomla sites running on a LiteSpeed web server.
+For most Joomla sites, the default settings work well. However, LSCJoomla is flexible and provides many ways to fine-tune your cache, if you are so inclined.
-The LiteSpeed Cache extension is released under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL).
+For advanced Joomla sites such as e-commerce sites, LiteSpeed's cutting-edge ESI functionality combined with cache options for logged-in users allows your complex business site to run with the efficiency of a static file site. Your store's pleasant user experience will encourage repeat customers.
-See [[https://www.litespeedtech.com/products/cache-plugins|our website]] for more information.
+The smart auto-purge feature minimizes cache management needs. No more worrying about synchronization problems. LSCJoomla will detect that you changed an article, you changed a menu setting, or you changed a module setting. Then, it will //automatically purge related pages//. This gives you the freedom to set a longer cache expiration time and improve visitor experience, confident that the cache will be purged when the relevant content or setting changes.
-===== Prerequisites =====
+Some components and some pages may not work well with cache. LiteSpeed Cache for Joomla allows flexible exclude rules for those components and pages.
-This version of LiteSpeed Cache requires Joomla 3.x or later and LiteSpeed Web Server 5.2.3 or later.
+**NOTE**: Since the **VirtueMart** eCommerce component is a Joomla component, LiteSpeed's LSCache plugin for Joomla supports VirtueMart by default and there is no extra plugin required.
+===== Requirements =====
+LiteSpeed Cache for Joomla requires:
+  * Joomla 3.x or later
+  * Either LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise 5.2.3 or later, or OpenLiteSpeed 1.4 or later
-Before installing and activating **lscjoomla**, remove any other full-page cache modules (such as  "System - Page Cache").
+**NOTE**: Enterprise edition is required in order to use the ESI feature. ESI will be disabled with OpenLiteSpeed.
