Will this plugin work with other Caching plugins?

Frankly we don’t know yet. As of v1.3 new HTTP header is added when redirection is enabled (Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate) but it’s on cache plugin to honor this setting

LiteSpeed Cache plugin workaround if redirection is not working

This issue is fixed by adding new rule to your .htaccess file before ## LITESPEED WP CACHE PLUGIN section

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* – [E=Cache-Control:vary=%{HTTP:CF-IPCountry}]
