QUIC.cloud or Cloudflare
How the two CDNs differ for a LiteSpeed-hosted WordPress site, why running both is usually a mistake, and how to choose.
Both put a CDN in front of a LiteSpeed site, and both work with WebGee hosting. They solve overlapping but different problems. Applies to all shared and reseller hosting.
The difference that matters
Cloudflare caches static files. Images, CSS, JavaScript and fonts are served from its edge; the HTML page itself is fetched from your server on every request unless you add a dynamic-caching product to the plan.
QUIC.cloud caches the HTML too. It is built by the LiteSpeed team and talks to the LiteSpeed Cache plugin on your site, so when you edit a post the plugin tells QUIC.cloud exactly which pages changed and only those are purged.
For WordPress that distinction is most of the decision. Generating the HTML is the slow part — the database queries, the theme, the plugins. A CDN that only caches assets removes some of the transfer time but leaves that work in place.
Choosing one
QUIC.cloud suits a site whose value is in page-generation speed: a content site, a blog, anything where most visitors see the same pages. It also generates critical CSS per page, which is otherwise a plugin's job and often done badly.
Cloudflare suits a site that needs more than caching — DNS management, a web application firewall, DDoS protection, bot rules, page rules, redirects at the edge. It is a broader platform with a much larger network, and for many sites those features matter more than HTML caching.
Both offer free tiers, and what each tier includes changes over time. Check current plans on their own sites before deciding on cost.
Running both
It is technically possible — QUIC.cloud serving HTML, Cloudflare serving static files — and it is rarely worth it.
Two CDNs mean two caches to purge, two places a stale page can hide, and two suspects when something breaks. Diagnosing a caching problem through two layers is considerably harder than through one.
Pick one unless you have a specific requirement that neither meets alone. The most common failure we see is a page that will not update because it is cached at a layer the site owner has forgotten about.
If you do run both, be clear about which one is authoritative for HTML, and purge in order: origin first, then the HTML cache, then the static cache.
Whichever you choose
Neither replaces LSCache on the server. LSCache caches the page at your origin; the CDN caches it at the edge. Keep the LiteSpeed Cache plugin enabled and configured — see Install and enable LiteSpeed Cache.
