You will need to log in to cPanel in order to enable Redis caching. Once logged in, follow these steps:

- Click "Add New Plugin"
- In the search field, enter "LiteSpeed Cache"
- The first result will be LiteSpeed Cache - click "Install Now"
- Click "Plugins"
- Click "Activate" underneath LiteSpeed Cache
Â
Once LiteSpeed Cache is installed and activated, follow these last steps to enable Redis object caching:
Â
- Click LiteSpeed Cache on the left side of the Admin panel
- Click "Cache" on the left side underneath LiteSpeed Cache
- Click "Object" at the top of the page
- Click the toggle next to "Object Cache" to enable it

- In the "Host" field, paste in /tmp/redis.sock
- In the "Port" field, enter 0

You should now see the Redis Extension status showing as "Enabled" and a notification that the Connection Test has been passed.
