Hi everyone,
Total beginner here with the technical aspects of CDNs, coding, hosting, servers, caching, etc..
Recently I downloaded LScache and it’s sent me down a rabbit hole of problems with my wordpress site.
I followed some YouTube guides and through their recommendations spent the time to enable quic.cloud cdn with cloud flare API integration.
My site afterwards is performing worse than ever before. My site takes about 10 seconds to load. Doing some research through web speed testing it looks like my server response time is the main issue.
A couple notes:
Object caching is not possible as my Dreamhost vos server does not support memcache or redis.
I downloaded docket object cache and it seemed to further degrade my webspeed performance.
My cdn on quic cloud says that I have used 100% of my monthly resources. With no option to upgrade..
Also my http requests and reroutes seem to be off as well.
I can provide necessary screenshots of all of my settings in any/all dashboards.
I’m asking some fiverr freelancers for quotes to fix but thought I would put it out here to see if some one can help me through the troubleshooting.
Any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you 🙏
Use either quic.cloud or Cloudflare, not both. You don’t want your data hopping through too many networks and services before reaching your visitors. I recommend Cloudflare.
LSCache is unnecessarily complicated. I personally turn off all its features except caching.
For persistent object caching you can try the SQLite Object Cache plugin (enable the sqlite extension for php if it isn’t enabled).
