What It Does

This plugin helps to automatically manage your LWSCache purge when you edit your pages, posts, or messages. It provides a way to purge all your LWSCache.

This plugin works only on servers using the LWSCache system. This cache is pre-installed with Classic shared web hosting, WordPress hosting, and soon cPanel hosting from LWS.

The loading speed of your site is crucial to its success. The more visitors your site has, the more RAM and CPU memory the system uses, leading to slower page loads. A cache system is essential to avoid unnecessary page reloads.

Furthermore, the site's page load speed is a factor in Google's ranking algorithm. Caching plugins that improve load times can enhance your SEO ranking. Low rankings often result in insufficient exposure and revenue from your website.

The LWS Cache tool optimizes your website's loading performance through advanced caching mechanisms configured at the server level, utilizing technologies provided by NGINX.

When LWS Cache is enabled, a cache server is introduced between the visitor and the web server, reducing the number of script executions required. It keeps the result of the execution in memory for future requests, eliminating the waiting time for script execution during page loading.

The WordPress LWS Cache plugin allows you to automatically purge the cache of your pages when you modify them or when comments are added or approved. You can manage the plugin from the WordPress administration console under the 'Settings' menu.

Several settings are available to manage your LWS Cache, including enabling or disabling automatic purging, purging the home page, posts, pages, custom post types, and archives.
