I have the same problem. The hosting provider recommends Litespeed. Now what do I do ,,. I replace the theme? The problem is that I have a high LCP, and Google has warned me about it: photos are hard to load.
Could this issue with the LCP be from Cache Plugin (considering that TagDiv recommends WP Super Cache)?
Greatings from Romania. Thanks!
Hello @Adrian!
You can use the plugin which suites you the best. For your case, I recommend you to optimize your website with or without that plugin.
For the page speed, I can recommend you some solutions in order to increase the score.

@hena durovova Congrats!
Yes, this is a serious problem regarding cache, many hosting companies have implemented and recommended litespeed cache to their customers, some have even been directly connected.
If I ask about this on hosting about increasing speed with this theme, the hosting will definitely say it’s a problem that should be left to theme development not to server speed hosting issue.
The hosting party will always suggest that litespeed cache is the best premium option that is already in their package or standard and they will even provide a comparison for litespeed cache with other cache plugins.
But CS newspaper recommends WP Super Cache and litespeed server users who buy this theme are confused by this complicated choice.
I hope the newspaper can confirm compatibility with the litespeed cache as soon as possible, because the speed tests on GTmetrix or Google PageSpeed Insights always give low marks.
Hi Youngman,
There can be use almost any cache plugins, but the WP Super cache is a recommendation because was tested and it works with all the theme options (using the settings from our guide).
Now, the are other cache plugins that we saw with Newspaper, like WP Rocket, litespeed, Total cache … all of them can be used if you find the right settings that will not interfere with the options you are using. Also, the most common problems are related to js and css, so in this case you can exclude some js files from been cached.
Unfortunately, we do not know what recommendation do to for those plugins because those can differed from the options that are used by each user.
Thank you for your understanding!
