So I recently setup a new Cyberpanel installation on GCP cloud but didn’t noticed any performance improvement compared to other providers, I intend to use it for my Woocommerce based site.
As I read most of the WordPress managed hosting providers use GCP + Nginx setup for their offerings like Kinsta, Siteground etc. Or Paid server panels like Gridpane, SpinupWP, Runcloud, Ploi, D2C or Free options like Easyengine, WordOps, Caprover etc.
They all tend to use Nginx+FastCGI caching option or use Nginx server + Redis Cache for Woocommerce.
I have used most of them except Kinsta & SpinWP didn’t got time to try because I found about OLS & Cyberpanel:)
What I would like to know if any users who are more experienced with cyberpanel + litespeed server managing successfully their WP + Woocommerce stores, what settings are you using for your woo installations with Cyberpanel.
Can you share some information on setting up LScache plugin, using OLS or LS enterprise:
✓ Setting up LScache + CDN, do you use any page rules in Cloudflare.
✓ Image/Font Optimization tips.
✓ CSS / JavaScript Selective loading
✓ Using any other optimizations plugins with LScache
✓ Do you use Redis cache or Memcached with LScache plugin.
✓ Do you remove unnecessary CSS/ JavaScript from posts / pages.
I usually tend to use less than 30 plugins on most of the WP installations so the site load fast, but had a hard time to add cache exception on for Woocommerce site with Nginx + FastCGI setup on Runcloud service being a paid member their since past 2 years but still their stack needs to be optimized for woocommerce sites.
Hopefully someone has better ideas & can share their experience with Cyberpanel for Woocommerce sites.
That’s what I usually do but I was wondering when we enable Redis cache option in LScache plugin, does it just works out of the box or their is some extra steps involved.
I have installed Redis php extension “lsphp73-pecl-redis” in cyberpanel for PHP 7.3 & enabled Redis cache in lscache Object Cache option but I wonder if it’s working or not .
@CyberPanel can you tell me if above steps are correct or I need to do something more.

You will also need to install redis.
Follow the first part but just ignore the install redis php extension part.
On the lscache settings page, advanced tab just enter 127.0.0.1 then add 6379 for port, the rest can be empty.
Turn on Store Transients, Persistent Connection & Cache Wp-Admin on that same page.
On the same lscache page you should see this after saving all that.
@cloudrider , i am on the cyberpanel discord if you are confused on any part, note that i am not part of cyberpanel, just a community owner who have done all these steps before.
I am posting a warning here that BEWARE of using the LS Cache plugin with Woocommerce as so many conflicts and bloated. Most of the settings in that plugin is not even about Litespeed servers, it is just minify or stuff like that.
If you want to use Litespeed server you should activate server-level cache only to avoid some conflict with Woocommerce IMO.
Anyway Nginx FastCGI is cleaner because no need for htaccess files.
If you disable assets on some pages only, you are blocking browser from preloading so that can actually be worse.
Best thing I have found is do not use SLIDER plugins or page builder plugin. And to disable cart fragments in WooCommerce helps shared hosting.
And NEVER to use Jetpack… so slow!!!
There are so many bad (slow) plugins for Wordpress to avoid like –

We have several clients who are using LS Cache with WooCommerce stores and have good performance without issues. You just have to pay a little bit of attention to the settings.
