Install the LiteSpeed Cache plugin in WordPress

LiteSpeed Cache is a free WordPress plugin that speeds up your site with server-level caching, image optimisation, CSS/JS minification, and more. Ecenica uses LiteSpeed web servers, so the plugin’s cache features work at full speed.

You can install it through WP Toolkit or directly from your WordPress dashboard.
