Performance

• LiteSpeed — toggle on the WordPress dashboard, with its own LiteSpeed Settings page. Page cache, browser cache, image optimization.

• Object Cache — separate toggle for database-query caching; requires LiteSpeed to be enabled first. Included on eligible plans.

• Server-side cache — cached pages served without executing PHP. See Cache.

• CDN — static assets served globally. See CDN.

• PageSpeed — measure Core Web Vitals and act on recommendations. See PageSpeed.

Maintenance mode

The WordPress dashboard has a Maintenance mode toggle — visitors can't access the site while it's on. Use it during risky changes when you don't want half-finished work public.

Security at a glance

• SSL — enable HTTPS for every site. See SSL Certificates.

• Malware scanning — automatic file-level detection on your hosting. See Malware Scanner.

• WordPress Security — smart auto-updates and update visibility for core, plugins, and themes. See Security.
