2025 So Far

We are more than halfway through 2025, and we wanted to take this opportunity to tell you what we’ve been doing this year, in case you’ve missed anything. We’ve released updates to three cache plugins, three control panel plugins, and all three server products!

Cache Plugins

First, let’s take a look at what’s new with our LiteSpeed Cache plugins for WordPress, PrestaShop, and Magento.

WordPress

We released three LSCWP updates in the last six months. In addition to dozens of minor changes and bug fixes, these new features were among the updates:

• AVIF support in v7.0
• Allowlist support for Critical CSS in v7.1
• Cloudflare cache clear on Purge All in v7.2

This is just the tip of the iceberg, though. There’s a lot more. See the full release log.

PrestaShop

For v1.5.2 of LSCPS, we made a few minor updates: we fixed some bugs, we added parameter support to ESI block widgets, and we improved compatibility with Smarty and Symphony caches.

See the release log.

Magento

LiteMage v2.2.5 had just a minor release, which included a bug fix, and an update which removed the jQuery dependency for custom varies.

See the release log.

Servers

Our server products were updated this year to use a new version of LSQUIC. (A hash flood vulnerability was addressed in our LSQUIC HTTP/3 Library in February with the v4.2.0 release.)

LiteSpeed Web Server

We released LSWS v6.3.2 and v6.3.3, which included new features, security updates, and a number of bug fixes. See the full release log here.

New features include:

• Improvements to HTTP/2’s ability to block aggressive robots when under attack
• Improved support for LiteSpeed Containers and Redis in control panels
• The ability to selectively disable anti-DDoS detection

The security updates addressed the LSQUIC vulnerability, and an issue with stderr.log permissions.

OpenLiteSpeed

OLS v1.8.4 updated LSQUIC and added support for “expect: 100 continue” handling.

See the release log.

Web ADC

Our LSADC v3.3.0 release improved both HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 with stronger anti-DDoS capabilities, and stream priority adjustments.

See the release log.

Control Panel Plugins

Our control panel plugins for cPanel/WHM, Plesk, and DirectAdmin all got a brand new Flag All button for the Cache Management feature.

Additionally, in cPanel and WHM we addressed a minor security issue, and added some improvements related to the Cache Redis for Users feature.

We released the following plugin updates:

• cPanel v2.4.1-v2.4.3 and WHM v5.1.2-v5.2.3
• Plesk v2.1.3-v2.2.0
• DirectAdmin v2.4

See the release logs.

Stay Tuned

We’ve got a lot more in store for the rest of 2025. Thanks for coming along for the ride!
