# Can we enable LiteSpeed Crawler?

The LiteSpeed Crawler is a feature of the LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress that proactively visits your site's pages to warm the cache — so visitors always hit a cached (fast) version rather than waiting for the first uncached request.

## Availability

Crawling is resource-intensive at the server level, since it generates requests for every page of every site that runs it. For that reason, the crawler is **disabled by default** on our shared hosting platform, which is the standard configuration for shared LiteSpeed environments.

If your site would benefit from cache warming, please contact our support team:

* On some plans and servers, we may be able to enable the crawler with sensible limits.
* For resource-heavy sites that depend on crawling, a plan with dedicated resources may be the better fit, and we can advise on options.

## Alternatives to the crawler

Even without the crawler, you can keep your cache warm:

* **Longer cache TTL** — increase cache lifetime in LiteSpeed Cache settings so pages stay cached longer.
* **Preload on update** — LiteSpeed Cache automatically purges and re-caches changed pages; the first visitor re-warms each page naturally.
* **External uptime monitors** — services that ping your key pages periodically keep those pages cached.

For most sites, well-configured caching without the crawler already delivers excellent performance. If you have questions about your LiteSpeed Cache configuration, we're happy to help.
