LiteSpeed caching addon for CS-Cart (BETA)

Important notes

• This addon is still in beta and under active development.

• This addon has been tested with CSCart 4.11.2. It should work on both older and newer versions, but you may run into some issues.

• This addon requires the use of ESI. OpenLiteSpeed does not support ESI at this time.

Installation

Configuring LiteSpeed Web Server

• Please make sure that you have a "Storage Path" configured at either a server or virtual host level.
