About the LiteSpeed Cache crawler
Using the crawler, you can ensure that LiteSpeed Cache has up-to-date versions of your pages in its cache ready to serve immediately to visitors. Without the crawler enabled, pages may take significantly longer to load, even though you are using a caching plugin. This is because after a page expires in the cache, the next visitor to the page must wait for LiteSpeed Cache to generate a fresh copy for the cache.Enabling the LiteSpeed Cache crawler
