LiteMage cache is the world’s fastest full page cache for Magento. It provides an improved caching solution by improving the speed and quality of a site. It improves the speed of both static and dynamic content of a website. LiteMage cache is faster than Apache with Varnish, and even NGINX with Varnish and three times efficient than other caching solutions.
Features of LiteMage
1) Static and dynamic caching.
2) Low memory and CPU needs: The main disadvantage of varnish that it consumes more amount of RAM. But LiteMage uses very little and it gives better performance than varnish.
3) Anti-DDoS protection: LiteMage has built-in DDoS protection which protects the websites from common HTTP attacks.
4) Quick page loads: LiteMage helps your pages much faster because it retrieves multiple content block with a single request.
5) Magento Specific.
6) Supports multi-store, multi-currency, and multi-user groups.
