Asked by shivaranjanibaidya
I am a noob! So, I need some help. I installed Openlitespeed WordPress from the Marketplace on a droplet with Ubuntu. I never had any idea that LSCache doesn’t have the option of GZIP compression. I want to enable it without using an additional plugin. Can anyone guide me? As I said, I am a noob. Some help with a simple explanation or a step-by-step guide will be really helpful.

HI @shivaranjanibaidya ,
You can ignore the compression alert from Pingdom since they don’t support brotli from the first beginning. If you test on GTMetrix, all shows score A (98%). I also didn’t see any issue on Pagespeed Insights.
Currently your static files are served by cloudflare, so if you see “Serve static assets” again, you might want to look into your CDN settings.

@eleu, The url is https://www.listmos.com/. Can you please go through it once? Not all resources. I guess a few of them.
Hi @shivaranjanibaidya ,
I just want to provide some information here for OpenLiteSpeed gzip question.
The OpenLiteSpeed comes with both Gzip/Brotli compression enabled, so you don’t need to do anything. That’s why LSCache Plugin has no such feature.
FYI, Browser cache is also enabled by default on server level.
