Best Practice for WoodMart + LiteSpeed Cache on LiteSpeed Server (Hostinger)
-
Hello WoodMart Support Team,
I am seeking your expert guidance on the optimal performance setup for my website.
Here is my environment:
Theme: WoodMart (latest version)
Hosting: Hostinger (which uses a LiteSpeed Web Server)
Caching Plugin: The official LiteSpeed Cache plugin
I have noticed in the latest versions of WoodMart, the WoodMart > Performance panel has evolved. It now focuses on intelligent and selective script loading (“load only scripts that are required”) and no longer has a simple “Combine JS/CSS” toggle.
Given this, my question is about the best practice for combining and minifying files:
Should I use the LiteSpeed Cache plugin to handle the combining and minifying of JS and CSS files, letting it optimize the “smart list” of files provided by WoodMart?
My current strategy is to set the following options to ON within the LiteSpeed Cache plugin settings:
Minify CSS & JS
Combine CSS & JS
Defer JS
Could you please confirm if this is the recommended best practice for achieving optimal performance with this setup? Or is there a different approach you would advise?
Thank you for your clarification and for your excellent theme.
Best regards,
In any case, you need to use the Cache plugin, which provides the functionality for combining.
