Compatibility With LiteSpeed Cache Plugin and Server

Hello,

This plugin looks absolutely fantastic, we have been playing with it in a small test site but we do have concerns if we were going to use this plugin with one of our larger sites, in particular a site that uses LiteSpeed Cache Plugin and Server.

We are using an Enterprise LiteSpeed server version 5.4.11 with a LiteSpeed cache plugin version 3.5.2. So here we have the following questions:

1. In Your FAQs you mentioned the following:

“WP Admin or WP Admin Bar is being cached
If you are using LiteSpeed Server version lower than 6.0RC1, make sure to Overwrite the cache-control header for WordPress’s pages using web server rules option is disabled. If not, disable it, clear your cache and try again.”

If you wrote this in your FAQs, this means that some people have experienced this or this is a common issue that happens often. What happens when LiteSpeed Server version reaches version 6.0 ?

Rather than anticipate a future release or not that might prevent WP Admin or WP Admin Bar being cached, do we need to use the code below in functions.php?

// Hide toolbar for everyone except for Administrators
if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
 add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');
}

2. From what we understand, this plugin uses Cloudflare workers that are your own, workers are not for free so please helps us understand this, because if you are paying for it and this plugin is for free, there must be something that the user is giving up here, specially if our site is delivering heavy traffic.

3. Are you harvesting any data from using your plugin?

4. Our site has heavy traffic, do we need to sign up for Cloudfare workers? If we do, do we just sign up, or are there settings that we need to perform at Cloudflare in order for this plugin to work?

5. LiteSpeed already uses an API key to control Cloudflare is there a conflict here?

6. In order for your plugin to work, LiteSpeed Cache has to be turned off, when this is done, the image optimization provided by the LiteSpeed Plugin also stops.

7. Can you explain in simple terms what does “Disable metaboxes on single pages and posts” do? (it comes disabled by default)

Thanks for making this fantastic plugin. I look forward to your reply.

Best regards,
