We compare event-driven LiteSpeed Enterprise tag-based invalidation and ESI cart blocks against Nginx FastCGI microcaching on 3.5 GHz+ NVMe cloud instances. (WPVelocity Modeled Targets: 46 ms (Warm LSCache) • 1.1s Modeled LCP • 68 ms Modeled INP).
WPVelocity Engineering Note: Nginx FastCGI cache excels on pure anonymous blogs, yet lacks native WordPress taxonomy tag purging and Edge Side Includes (ESI). When a single WooCommerce SKU stock count updates on Nginx, sites often flush broad cache directories, whereas LiteSpeed LSCache invalidates only matching X-LiteSpeed-Tag hashes while spawning on-demand lsphp workers cleanly under 8 GB RAM.
Under our WPVelocity queueing equations, unoptimized defaults push dynamic origin responses toward 420 ms (Cold Miss) under concurrent load.
