Title: Problems with Litespeed Last modified: November 12, 2018 --- # Problems with Litespeed * [georgemgr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/georgemgr/) * (@georgemgr) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-litespeed/) * After upgrading to the latest version (from a couple of versions back) of the plugin my site went down almost immediately, RAM and CPU usage shot through the roof and remain ed there until I manually removed the plugin. As I couldn’t find a solution to the problems I opted for another plugin (where I migrated the data) since there was no way i could keep this one active without my site going down. * My site is on Litespeed/MariaDb/php7 and I have to say that after re moving this plugin the site is noticeably faster all around. To be fair I had used it for years on another server running Apache/Mysql and had not had any such dramatic events, although I suspect it did slow down my experience as well, as it performs much better now (but that was my fault for not realizing it earlier). * I have heard from a couple of others on litespeed that experienced the same issue. * Its a good plugin no doubt, but it does seem to slow down my site at least and the last version totally crashed it… - This topic was modified 7 years, 7 months ago by [georgemgr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/georgemgr/).

The last version has a performance issue under certain rare circumstances which we are currently working on. Previous versions absolutely would not have slowed your site. * Is it is, you should be able to resolve your issue by checking the dynamic sitemaps option and enabling sitemap indexes (something the other plugin does by default). - This reply was modified 7 years, 7 months ago by [Michael Torbert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hallsofmontezuma/). * Thread Starter [georgemgr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/georgemgr/) * (@georgemgr) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-litespeed/#post-10872508) * Ok I edited the rating, though I don’t think I will go back to using your plugin, still I did use it for years and for that it deserves a better rating. The reality is that the effect of this latest update was catastrophic to the point that it crashed my site in a matter of seconds, even if I knew what to change I would not be able to access my site as it was completely inaccessible as long as the plugin was active. * Don’t get me wrong you have my respect for your product and the fact that you are on top of it and that you do offer a great free service, but for me this last update proved to be unmanageable. * As for the slowdown, I still think that the site is behaving much faster now ( and I am not the only one that thinks so), but I have not measured it at all. When I have more time (assuming I can even use the plugin again) I may run a test to see if that is the case with actual numbers. * In any case thanks for taking the time to address my original post. * [isabelleroger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isabelleroger/) * (@isabelleroger) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-litespeed/#post-10961033) * Hello, Same here, it slows down my sites. I have Version 2.8.1 My hosting has a licence and they told me to use it two days ago, which I started to do. But really, it slows down the opening of the sites + the admin also. * You write: “Previous versions absolutely would not have slowed your site.” * Please can you tell me about which version is making websites faster, I will install that instead. * Thanks Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘Problems with Litespeed’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/all-in-one-seo-pack/assets/icon.svg?rev=2443290) * [All in One SEO – Powerful SEO Plugin to Boost SEO Rankings & Increase Traffic](https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/all-in-one-seo-pack/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/all-in-one-seo-pack/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/all-in-one-seo-pack/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/all-in-one-seo-pack/reviews/) * 3 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [isabelleroger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isabelleroger/) * Last activity: [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-litespeed/#post-10961033)
