Tested 3rd-Party Plugins

This is a list of known popular plugins that we have checked for compatibility. All of the plugins listed here have passed the test and are compatible with LSCache. If this list looks small, it is because we only test those plugins that have the potential to conflict with a cache solution.

  • bbPress - New forums/topics/replies will purge the relevant parent pages.
  • WooCommerce - The plugin caches the pages that WooCommerce deems cacheable.
  • Contact Form 7 - When editing the actual contact form (adding contact forms to posts is handled), the admin needs to manually purge the cache to refresh the changes. Also, according to this FAQ from Contact Form 7, the TTL should be set to less than 24 hours (86400 seconds).
  • Google XML Sitemaps
  • Yoast SEO - Depending on how the site urls are generated, when the SEO plugin is activated/deactivated, it may require a purge.
  • Wordfence Security
  • NextGen Gallery - Albums and galleries are purged accordingly when related images are updated.
  • ShortPixel - Full compatibility
  • Aelia CurrencySwitcher - Has a vary for the four required cookies.
  • Fast Velocity Minify
  • Autoptimize - Will purge cache when its cache is purged.
  • Better WP Minify
  • WP Touch
  • Theme My Login
  • wpForo
  • WPLister
  • Avada
  • WP-PostRatings

My Favorite Plugin Isn't Listed

It's impossible to list every plugin that is compatible with LiteSpeed Cache, so here is a rule of thumb:

If the plugin doesn’t generate site content, or do anything out of the ordinary with existing front-end content, then chances are it is 100% compatible with LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress. (The vast majority of plugins fall into this category.)

Still note sure? Consider these points:

  • LSCWP purges pages from the cache when certain events are triggered. If the plugin generates content that triggers those same events, then it's compatible in that area.
  • LSCWP follows a set of rules to determine whether a page is cacheable. If the plugin generates content that also abides by those same rules, then it's compatible in that area.

If you still are unsure, we've written this guide to testing for compatibility so you can check for yourself.

If you have the skills, take a look at our API and make the plugin compatible yourself!
