Is the W3 Total Cache plugin compatible with LiteSpeed Cache?

    In the health of the site an error appears that says:

    Unable to detect page caching due to a possible request loopback issue. Please verify that the loopback request test is correct. Error: Service Unavailable (Code: http_503)

    Page caching improves the speed and performance of your site by saving and serving static pages instead of calling a page each time a user visits it.

    Page caching is detected by looking for an active page caching plugin, as well as making three requests to the parent page and looking for one or more of the following HTTP client caching response headers:

    cache-control, expires, age, last-modified, etag, x-cache-enabled, x-cache-disabled, x-srcache-store-status, x-srcache-fetch-status.

    Would I have problems if I install the W3 Total Cache plugin?

    What risks could you receive, or if the page could collapse.

    And how can I cover that problem with LiteSpeed Cache… since that message appeared since version 6.1.1 of WordPress

    Hello @andersonviviel

    Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
    As for the other caching method you mention, I am not at liberty to say anything about it since this is a W3 Total Cache plugin forum thread.
    The short answer is yes, this can be addressed with W3 Total Cache. You can enable Page Caching, which solves the problem for Page caching, and also in the Browser Cache section, you can also enable cache-control, expires, age, last-modified, etag…
    The other headers are simply examples of different headers that are showing if the page is cached or not using other caching solutions, and those will disappear once the mentioned options are enabled in the W3 Total Cache.

    If you are planning to use both W3TC and the other plugin, I would strongly suggest not using both caching methods as this can cause conflict.

    I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks!
