Because a site slows down?
Litespeed Web Server is therefore an effective way to speed up website. This occurs through the memorization in the cache of the pages. Let's now do an example of a site created with WordPress, But operation applies to any content management system (CMS).
When WordPress is installed for the first time, it works quickly. However you will find yourself installing additional components to enrich your site.
A personalized theme is usually used and also a number of plugins. Your site now has a nice appearance e, Thanks to the various plugins, It has all the features you need.
Only Following these additions, The site will stop more slowly
It happens in part because every time someone loads a page, The whole PHP code in your theme and active plugins must be performed, In order to create the final output of the page. If you have many plugins, or a theme the poorly coding, This can cause significant overload and cause a very slow site.
Storage of the cache
The idea of storing in the cache is that instead of performing all the heavy work every time a page is loaded, We only do it once when you access the page for the first time.
In this way The output of the code is archived and loaded by the second time that the page is visited. Therefore instead of reconstructing the entire page dynamically, We simply generate the stored HTML code.
This helps significantly to speed up website, But there is a big problem that must be addressed: What happens when content changes?
Eviction of the cache
If we memorize the contents in the cache, We have to know when content changes. For example, If you change the text on a page or prices of the products, You must be sure that visitors can see the updated page, and not the one previously stored in the cache.
To guarantee this, The copy copy of the page must be “disrupt” When the content changes. Once the old content from the cache is expelled, At the next access, the content will be generated dynamically again and an updated new HTML output will be filed in the cache, Ready for the next visitor.
To manage all this, Applications such as WordPress have numerous plugins available that create the content stored in the cache and that expel any specific content when someone changes it through the WordPress administration area.
LITESPEEED LATO SERVER
Now you should have a good knowledge of the general concept of a page cache. If you are a WordPress user, You may have already used one of the numerous cache storage plug-in, But they are probably cache plugins at the application level.
In most cases, If anyone visits a WordPress site with a cache plug-in implemented, The php has yet to be performed. The code that tells the user to load the HTML in the cache is coded in PHP inside the storage plugin in the cache. It is therefore necessary that the 'core PHP code’ of WordPress is performed and the PHP code of the cache plug-in execute and load the HTML from the cache. You therefore spared a lot of overload since you don't have to perform the code of all the plugins you have installed, But you are still performing some of the Php code.
With storage in the cache of the Server side page, It is not necessary to perform php. When a request for a page arrives in an environment with storage in the cache of the lateral page of the server, If there is a content stored in the cache, It is passed directly to the visitor without even recalling WordPress or an execution of PHP.
But as regards the “evicted” cache? How does the web server know that its content is updated?
In the same way that a cache at the application level must eliminate the pages from the cache when the content changes, as well as the cache of the lateral page of the server.
So that this works, It is necessary to install a plug-in or an extension in the application itself that knows how to correctly eliminate the content stored in the cache from the cache of the lateral page of the server.
As for the cache of the pages of applications, The cache of the pages on the Server Litespeed Web Server side can be canceled using a simple plug-in, Specifically designed to work with Litespeed Web Server or one that has been designed in a more generic way to work with a cache of the server side pages (such as paint).
This is because Litespeed Web Server has been designed to work exactly like the other cache of the server's side page and can have the cache eliminated to the reception of requests for elimination HTTP or, more simply, deleting files in a hidden cache folder in your user account.
