Is LiteSpeed Cache still maintained?
Yes. LiteSpeed Cache was last updated 1 September 2026, it declares support for a current WordPress release, and it is being kept up. On the evidence the directory publishes, there is nothing here that should worry you.
The evidence
Every figure below is read from the WordPress.org plugin directory. Nothing here is our assessment of the code.
| Last release | 1 September 2026 (less than a month ago) |
|---|---|
| Current version | 7.9.1 |
| Tested up to | WordPress 7.1 (current is 7.1) |
| Requires PHP | 7.4 |
| Active installs | At least 7 million sites (the directory reports a rounded floor, not an exact count) |
| Support threads resolved | 51% of 63 in the last two months |
| Directory status | Listed |
| Read from the directory | 16 September 2026 |

What these signals mean
Three things say a plugin is being kept up, and this one satisfies them: a release recently enough to show somebody is there, a tested-up-to version close to current WordPress, and a support forum that gets answered. None of them is about the quality of the code. They are about whether anyone will be there when something changes underneath it.
That is worth checking again in a year rather than treating as settled. Plugins change hands, authors move on, and a plugin that is maintained today is not automatically maintained at the next WordPress release.
What to do about it
Nothing. Keep it updated and check again in a year.
If you are choosing between this and something else, the maintenance signals here are the ones worth weighing: they say more about whether the plugin will still work after the next WordPress release than a feature comparison does.
Is a site you look after running LiteSpeed Cache?
Our free WordPress plugin checker reads any public site and lists the plugins it loads, with the same maintenance signals as the table above for each one. No login and no signup, so it works on a client’s site before you have access to it.
Questions
When was LiteSpeed Cache last updated?
The WordPress.org directory records its most recent release as 1 September 2026. That date is read from the directory each time this page is built, and the page states when it was read.
How can I tell if a WordPress plugin is still maintained?
Three things, all published by the directory on the plugin's own listing: how long ago the last release was, which WordPress version the author says they tested against, and what share of the support forum gets marked resolved. None of them is about code quality. Together they say whether anybody will be there when PHP or WordPress changes underneath the plugin, which is what actually decides whether it keeps working.
Is LiteSpeed Cache a security risk?
We do not know, and nothing on this page is a security finding. Vulnerability data for WordPress plugins sits behind paid commercial APIs, and guessing at it from a version number either alarms people about plugins that are fine or implies that everything unflagged has been checked and is safe. Both are worse than saying nothing. What this page reports is maintenance: when the plugin last shipped, which WordPress version its author last tested against, how much of its support forum gets answered, and whether the directory still lists it. Those are facts the directory publishes, and they are what predicts whether a plugin will still work after the next core release.
