Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about xSpeed Cache: AI-Powered Performance Hub with MCP, Caching & CDN

Yes. xSpeed Cache works on Apache, nginx, LiteSpeed, IIS and any standard PHP host. GZIP auto-configures on Apache and LiteSpeed, and a ready-to-paste config snippet is provided for nginx and IIS.

No. xSpeed Cache detects the LiteSpeed Cache server module and steps back to avoid conflicts.

Yes. Logged-in customers and checkout pages are never cached, and you can exclude specific URLs such as /cart, /checkout and /my-account.

Yes. Each site in the network gets its own cache and settings.

Not exactly. A WordPress MCP adapter usually exposes core WordPress data. The xSpeed Cache MCP server exposes the performance tools this plugin owns, such as cache purging, preloader status, score runs and settings reads and writes, so an assistant works on speed rather than on content.

Yes. A WordPress MCP Claude connection uses OAuth discovery, and the MCP server appears on the Overview as a capability card so you can set it up without hunting for a panel. Read-only connections stay read-only.

That is for you to judge, but here is the honest basis for comparison. The static-file rewrite path serves cached pages before PHP loads, across Apache, nginx and LiteSpeed, which most free plugins do not do. Object caching, CDN support and database cleanup are included rather than reserved for a paid tier.

In most cases yes. Page caching, minification, GZIP, lazy loading, font optimization, browser caching, object caching, WordPress CDN support and database cleanup are all in one plugin, so you are not stacking a WordPress page speed plugin on top of a cache plugin on top of a database tool.

It targets the parts a plugin can influence. The static cache improves server response time, the LCP preload picks the largest image on the page rather than the first, lazy loading defers offscreen media, and the automatic Cumulative Layout Shift fix stops the layout jumping. Page weight and DOM size are reported to you, since only a person can fix those.

The MCP server lets an AI assistant connect to your site and use the same tools the dashboard uses, such as purging cache, checking preloader status, running a score and reading or updating settings. Read-only connections stay read-only, and credentials cannot be written unless you explicitly grant that permission when connecting.
