Caching & Performance Infrastructure

1 min read

Overview #

Speed is the foundation of a good website experience. Xponent runs a layered caching and performance stack so your site loads fast without you having to manage technical details.

The Xponent Stack (Performance Layer) #

Layer What it does
OpenLiteSpeed + LSCache Full-page caching at the server edge: serves repeat visitors instantly
Redis object cache Speeds up WordPress database queries and repeated operations
PHP-FPM tuning Optimized worker pools sized to your plan and traffic
Image optimization Compressed, modern-format images via ShortPixel
CSS/JS optimization Minified and combined assets for fewer, smaller requests

How We Manage It #

All performance layers are configured and maintained by our team on your GridPane node. You don’t adjust server caches yourself: if you need a cache purge or a setting change, request it via support and we handle it on the control panel.

What You Should Know #

  • New content appears instantly: we configure cache purging on publish, so your updates show immediately.
  • Speed is monitored: we track Core Web Vitals as part of site health (see Site Speed & Core Web Vitals).
  • Heavy plugins affect speed: every plugin you add costs performance. The Xponent Stack is chosen to balance capability and speed.
