 * Hello. I am seeking to test LiteSpeed with my websites. I am on InMotionHosting.
   com. They seem not to use LiteSpeed and are frankly rather slow.
 * I am interested in your paid services, but I have quite a few months left on 
   an expensive plan with InMotionHosting, so am trying to get thru the next 7 months.
 * You mention OpenLiteSpeed. I read the informational page about it, but I do not
   really understand what is to be done with it. Where is this supposed to be downloaded–
   my host account? Or elsewhere? What am I supposed to do with it to enable the
   caching?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fopenlitespeed%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * to use OpenLiteSpeed, you will need to have your own server with root access 
   where you can install and configure OLS

 * Is there any particular value in using the LiteSpeed plugin then without caching?
   As I said, I am shackled to this host for another 7 months…

 * Hi,
 * Yes well , there are some optimization features, like CSS minify, JS combine,
   Critical CSS, image optimization …etc you can use on non-LiteSpeed server.
 * basically , all the plugin’s features besides caching are working for you.
 * Best regards,
