LiteSpeed Cache (LSCache) accelerates dynamic content delivery in LiteSpeed server products, akin to Apache mod_cache. It optimizes performance by caching dynamic content beyond PHP pages, reducing load times and server stress.

Setup Steps for Laravel

i. Require Package: Use Composer as follows

composer require litespeed/lscache-laravel

ii. Configuration (Laravel 5.1 to 5.4): Update config/app.php with aliases and middleware.

iii. Configuration (Laravel 5.5 and Above): Use artisan to publish configuration

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Litespeed\LSCache\LSCacheServiceProvider"

iv. Enable CacheLookup: Add to server, vhost, or .htaccess

Functionalities of LSCache Plugin

3. Purging Cache: Purge specific pages or tags using methods like purge(‘/’) or purge(‘tag=products’).
