Customer Showcase: LiteSpeed Performance Helps Foster Trust
Recently we put out a call on our Slack workspace. We asked for companies who’d like to share their LiteSpeed experience to collaborate with us on a showcase. LumiQuest Dental Circle–a company for whom LiteSpeed Cache has positively impacted their WordPress site’s PageSpeed performance score–answered the call.
For a healthcare guidance site, speed is part of trust. Patients may be reading long treatment guides or cost-transparency content on mobile, and the experience needs to feel clear, fast, and dependable. LiteSpeed Cache helps us keep a WordPress-based publishing platform practical and responsive while we continue building structured dental guidance for Dubai patients. – Joe Feghali, LumiQuest Dental Circle
Read on to learn more about LumiQuest’s technology stack, and the difference LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress makes for customer experience.
Company background
LumiQuest is an independent Dubai-focused dental guidance platform founded by Joe Feghali. LumiQuest’s WordPress site publishes patient education resources, including original resources like the Dubai Dental Cost Transparency Report.
On this bilingual English and Arabic content-heavy site, performance matters. Healthcare content needs to feel trustworthy, clear, and fast. Mobile readers need to be able to easily compare treatment options.
LumiQuest is running a WordPress instance on a Hostinger plan with LiteSpeed Web Server.The site uses LiteSpeed Cache v7.8.1 and several other WordPress plugins and tools, including:
- TranslatePress
- Rank Math SEO
- Cloudflare / Turnstile
- UpdraftPlus
- Asset CleanUp Pro
- Hello Elementor theme
How the comparison was run
To illustrate the positive impact of LiteSpeed Cache on his site, Joe checked his PageSpeed Insights performance score twice for two different pages: the homepage and the transparency report.
The first test was run with the LiteSpeed Cache plugin (LSCWP) temporarily deactivated in WP-Admin. He then re-activated the plugin and checked his PageSpeed performance score again. These tests were run on the same day.
Results
| Page tested | Device | LSCWP deactivated | LSCWP activated | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Homepage | Mobile | 62 | 94 | +32 points |
| Homepage | Desktop | 87 | 97 | +10 points |
| Transparency Report | Mobile | 77 | 94 | +17 points |
| Transparency Report | Desktop | 98 | 94 | -4 points |
LiteSpeed delivered the biggest wins for LumiQuest on mobile, especially for the homepage, where the PageSpeed score shot up 32 points. On desktop, the transparency report score dipped slightly from 98 to 94, but these are still both high scores. And in real-world tests, it’s not unusual for PageSpeed scores to fluctuate a few points.
| Page tested | Device | LSCWP deactivated | LSCWP activated | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Homepage | Mobile | 11.2 s | 2.6 s | 8.6 s faster |
| Homepage | Desktop | 1.7 s | 0.8 s | 0.9 s faster |
| Transparency Report | Mobile | 4.7 s | 2.4 s | 2.3 s faster |
| Transparency Report | Desktop | 0.8 s | 0.5 s | 0.3 s faster |
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), a Core Web Vital that measures how quickly the main content of a page loads, improved across the board. LCP got the most impressive boost on the mobile homepage, which loaded more than 8 seconds faster.
Conclusion
With LiteSpeed Cache, LumiQuest Dental Circle has found a practical WordPress performance solution that supports mobile usability, community trust, and a more pleasant user experience. Our thanks to Joe Feghali of LumiQuest for sharing their story in this Showcase!
