Step By Step Comparison

Here is a real-user case study who wanted a comparison of LiteSpeed Server + LSCACHE to WP Compress, so we booked a demo and tested the full setup, the step by step results are below.

🔧 Case Study Setup

To help website owners understand the real-world performance difference between LiteSpeed (with LS Cache) and WP Compress, we conducted a direct comparison using the same website across three scenarios:

  1. No Optimization (Baseline)

  2. LiteSpeed Server + LS Cache Plugin

  3. WP Compress Active (No Other Optimizations)

💡 Objective

To evaluate which solution delivers better performance, ease of setup, and ongoing value — without requiring complex server configurations or multiple plugins.

🧪 Testing Tools Used

Google PageSpeed Insights (Mobile Performance)

Each test was performed using the same website, same host, and the same content — ensuring a fair and accurate comparison.

Without Any Optimization

Before WP Compress — and without the LiteSpeed Server or LS Cache plugin — the user’s website scored just 44 on mobile PageSpeed. This served as the unoptimized baseline.

With LiteSpeed Server + LS Cache

After enabling the LiteSpeed Server and LS Cache plugin, the mobile PageSpeed score improved to 68. This was a step forward, but still left significant room for improvement — especially considering this setup costs $36/month.

With WP Compress Active

By simply activating WP Compress, the mobile PageSpeed score jumped to 98 — instantly and without the need for LiteSpeed hosting or additional caching plugins.


📊 Results

With WP Compress, the mobile PageSpeed score boosted to 98 points, a + 56 point improvement over the unoptimized setup, and even a + 30 point gain over the LiteSpeed server and LS Cache – without any configuration required!

They Switched Saved $100s!
