Disable LSCache
Turn LiteSpeed Cache off for a WordPress site that is already using it, and what to expect once you do.
Turns off LSCache for a WordPress installation that currently has it. Applies to all shared and reseller hosting.
To stop WebGee installing it in the first place, see Prevent LSCache from auto-installing instead — that is a different action, and doing this one alone will not stop it returning.
Disable it
- Log in to cPanel and open LiteSpeed Web Cache Manager.
- Select WordPress Cache.
- Select Scan to find the WordPress installations on the account.
- Select Disable beside the installation.
Before you do
Disabling the page cache means every request is generated by PHP. On a busy site that is a large increase in load, and it counts against your account's resource limits. Expect slower pages and, on shared hosting, a higher chance of hitting entry-process limits.
Most reasons for disabling LSCache are better solved another way:
- A page shows stale content — exclude that URL in the plugin's settings rather than disabling the cache for the whole site.
- A cart or checkout misbehaves — LSCache excludes WooCommerce cart pages by default. If it is not doing so, the plugin's preset is wrong; see LiteSpeed Cache presets.
- You want to use a different cache plugin — then disabling is correct. Running two page caches at once causes problems.
It will come back
WebGee runs an automated process that enables LSCache across WordPress installations on the server. Disabling it here does not opt out of that process, so the cache can be re-enabled later.
To opt out permanently, flag the installation as well — see Prevent LSCache from auto-installing.
Verify
Load the site in a private window and confirm the x-litespeed-cache response
header is gone. See
Check whether LiteSpeed Cache is working.
