Good but with limitations and problems;
-
As a service and plugin is very good but only if you can use all of its features right. What I mean, is that if you are in a shared or reseller hosting server (where the most of us are) you can not use the crawler feature that is crucial for the cache to work. You can enable it only on VPS and dedicated servers. And I have asked more than 20 (;) hosting companies that say they provide litespeed shared/reseller hosting and none of them was able to enable this feature. Without it, you may have excellent pagespeed results like 100/100 but this is only for robots; They are fake-manipulated metrics; In reality the site is extremely slow in the visitors in real time. This feature should be available to customer and not to the company of hosting. Other plugins (e.g. wprocket, wp fastest cache) have similar features (like preload cache) and create the cache BEFORE the user enters your website.
An other crucial problem is that if you enable the guest mode (in order to have great pagespeed scores) the CSS and JS combine feature is automatically enable. But this feature starts to fill up your disk space enormously. I have a site 2GB and the combined CSS/JS files became in 1 month 25GB; From litespeed tells you to disable these features or make manually moves that needs a lot of work and time. Again, other plugins (e.g. wprocket, wp fastest cache) have CSS and JS combine but you do not have this problem of disk space fill up.
