All our hosting servers utilise LiteSpeed Cache, the fastest and most reliable way to speed up all WordPress websites. Within just a couple of clicks, it can be up and running and will create a static version of your website.

Creating a static version of your website as it drastically speeds up your page loading time. The viewer’s browser doesn’t have to wait for dynamic content to be processed and collated as it’s already ready and stored in the server cache.

Many of our clients have been astonished by how much LiteSpeed speeds up their website. The speed increase improves your chances of ranking higher in search engines and gives your audience a better user experience.
