After extensive testing, we achieved perfect 100/100 PageSpeed scores on both mobile and desktop.
This post builds on our previous article about the 5 tools behind our speed success. We mentioned LiteSpeed Cache and quic.cloud CDN as key players. Now you get our complete integrated configuration.
These aren’t recommendations from random tutorials. These are the actual cache and CDN settings running on WP Buzz right now. Every setting was tested for speed impact across the entire system.
This wasn’t just LiteSpeed Cache alone. It was the powerful integration of LiteSpeed Cache with quic.cloud that made it happen.
Here’s what most people miss: quic.cloud isn’t just a CDN. It’s a full optimization platform that works seamlessly with LiteSpeed Cache. While the cache handles server-side speed, quic.cloud optimizes images, CSS, JavaScript, and global delivery from the cloud.
The magic happens when these two systems work together. LiteSpeed Cache creates the foundation, then quic.cloud amplifies every optimization globally.
Here’s what most tutorials won’t tell you: these settings work seamlessly together because our infrastructure runs on LiteSpeed Enterprise servers powered by AMD Ryzen 9950X processors clocking at 5.7GHz, paired with NVMe drives, DDR5 RAM, and Tier 1 data centers.
When your hosting, cache plugin, and CDN all use the same technology stack, conflicts disappear. Cache clears instantly, optimizations work perfectly, and you get consistent results.
With mismatched setups (Apache servers + different CDNs), you’ll spend more time troubleshooting than optimizing. This integrated approach is why we eliminated 50% of our cache-related support tickets.
At WP Buzz, this complete ecosystem creates blazing fast experiences our users and visitors notice immediately.
Stop. Backup your entire site before making any changes. Speed optimization can break functionality if something goes wrong. A full backup means you can restore quickly.
About Default Settings: When we don’t mention a setting below, leave it unchanged. We’re only covering the settings we actually modified. This keeps the guide focused and prevents overwhelm.
Important: These settings work perfectly for our site and infrastructure. Your results may vary depending on your hosting, themes, and plugins. Always backup your site completely before making changes. Test each section carefully on a staging site first.
If you’re new to LiteSpeed optimization, start with the Presets section below for safer beginner-friendly options.
WordPress hits your database with every page load. Every menu item, widget, and piece of content requires database queries. LiteSpeed Cache stores pre-built pages in memory instead. Visitors get cached versions instantly instead of waiting for database rebuilds.
The settings we tested deliver the speed gains. Here’s exactly what we configured.
The Dashboard shows your site information. Settings from other sections appear here. We’ll return to this section at the end because our changes reflect in the content displayed here.
The real work happens in the other sections first.
Standard Presets work great for beginners who want instant speed boosts without manual setup. If you’re new to this, set it to Advanced.
Important: Advanced presets require a quic.cloud account. The same account works for quic.cloud CDN, which we highly recommend.
Import/Export helps when you optimize multiple sites. Export your settings once, then import them to save time on other sites.
But here’s where the real optimization begins…
General Settings creates your optimization foundation. Get this wrong and nothing else works properly.
This tab shows your quic.cloud connection status and active optimizations. We recommend activating quic.cloud using this tutorial.
We leave all tuning settings unchanged for stability.
Now comes the most important section for speed…
Cache settings control how LiteSpeed Cache stores and serves your pages. These settings alone can cut load times by 70%.
TTL controls how long cached pages stay active. We set longer periods to maximize speed benefits.
Purge settings control when cache gets cleared. Smart purging maintains speed while keeping content fresh.
We leave all exclude settings unchanged. Our cache works for all content types and user roles.
ESI helps logged-in users get fast experiences with personalized content.
But the real performance boost comes from the next setting…
Object Cache eliminates database queries by storing results in memory. This setting alone improved our speed scores by 30 points.
The database query improvements are massive. Queries that took 50-100ms now complete in under 5ms.
Browser cache tells visitors’ browsers to store static files locally. Return visits load much faster.
These advanced settings create the snappy feel users love.
CDN distributes your content globally. We use quic.cloud because it integrates perfectly with LiteSpeed.
We don’t use Cloudflare with LiteSpeed, so both settings stay off.
The CDN setup means visitors worldwide get fast load times from nearby servers.
LiteSpeed includes professional image optimization. No need for separate plugins that slow things down.
Image optimization alone reduced our page sizes by 40%. The visual quality stays perfect.
Page Optimization handles CSS, JavaScript, and HTML compression. This section creates the biggest speed improvements.
Media settings handle image loading and quality. These settings improved our Largest Contentful Paint scores by 50%.
Viewport Images prioritizes images visitors actually see.
These settings create smooth scrolling experiences without delays.
WordPress databases collect junk over time. Regular cleaning maintains speed gains.
Database Optimizer > Clean All (We run this for all optimization options)
This removes post revisions, spam comments, expired data, and orphaned records.
Clean databases mean faster queries and smaller backup files.
The Crawler keeps your cache fresh by visiting pages before cache expires. Visitors always get fast cached content.
Crawler settings ensure cache stays active during high traffic periods.
The Toolbox provides admin utilities for cache management. We keep all settings at their defaults. The tools work perfectly without changes.
After applying these settings, return to the Dashboard section. You’ll see a complete summary of your site optimizations and their impact.
The dashboard shows cache performance, optimization statistics, and speed improvements. More importantly, your PageSpeed scores will climb toward 100/100.
You now have our exact configuration that delivered our 100/100 scores. These settings work on our live site with real traffic every day.
Results will vary based on your hosting platform, themes, and plugins. What worked perfectly for our setup may need adjustments for yours.
Start with a complete site backup. Then begin with General Settings – enable Guest Mode and Guest Optimization first. These two changes show immediate results.
Work through each section systematically. Test your PageSpeed scores after major changes like Cache Settings and Page Optimization. You’ll see improvements with each step.
Remember: your hosting setup affects results. These settings perform best with LiteSpeed Enterprise servers, but they’ll improve speeds on most hosting platforms.
Take your time with implementation. Test thoroughly. Your site’s performance depends on getting each section right.
