Cache always “miss” and high TTFB

    I tried mailing directly to support but did not receive a reply so will try here as well in case others have some input as well.

    So I’ve abandoned WP Rocket to try with Litespeed cache + Redis object cache. Setting everything up went smoothly and the site seems to run very well. I actually “feel” the page load is faster now.

    However, when I run GTMetrix or any other page speed tool cache always says “miss”. When I tried this with WP Rocket, I would always get “miss” on the first attempt, but then on the following try it would always be “hit”.

    In general I do get a decent final page load result in GTMetrix at 2.6s and I’m pretty sure cache is working but for some reason TTFB is very high at 600-900ms. When I used WP ROcket, TTFB was always around 170-250ms when cache “hit”.

    I’ve tried a bunch of things – I’ve turned off Redis, Cloudflare, and played around with the LScache settings but nothing helps.

    So my question is, why is TTFB so high and why is page speed test always showing “miss”.

    My Google Analytics plugin is also showing Page Load Time much higher than before when I used WP Rocket although I can “feel” that my site is loading much faster now.

    The numbers and info I am getting are contradictory and it’s confusing me.

    I’ve actually figured out what is causing this I think. It appears to be geotargetingwp. When I disable it, TTFB drops to 200ms. I will have to speak to the developer of that plugin.

    I just changed back to WP Rocket and now everything works perfectly. I get 117ms TTFB and faster Largest Contentful Paint. Unless I can fix the issues I am having with Litespeed plugin, I cannot use it.

    I already switched back to WP Rocket and now I get faster loading times. I didn’t really see much of a benefit moving to Litespeed + I had all these issues with high ttfb etc. Thanks.
