Overall, LiteMage\u2019s time on Connect has been very positive, with 4,600+ downloads since we first put the plugin up two years ago, and an outpouring of customers amazed at the performance gains they were able to achieve using our intelligent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.litespeedtech.com\/products\/cache-plugins\/magento-acceleration\/hole-punching\">ESI caching<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, the question on everyone\u2019s mind:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will LiteMage be making the move to Magento Marketplace? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The answer is, \u201chopefully!\u201d While our Connect experience was a good one, we still have a few question about the Marketplace move and are waiting on a response from the Magento team before proceeding.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, <strong>we have made the LiteMage plugin available directly on our site<\/strong> as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.litespeedtech.com\/products\/cache-plugins\/magento-acceleration\/download#download\">download<\/a> and have updated our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.litespeedtech.com\/support\/wiki\/doku.php\/litespeed_wiki:cache:litemage:installation\">installation guide<\/a> to reflect any changes this introduces.<\/p>\n<p>Rest easy knowing that no matter where you have to go to download LiteMage, we remain committed to continuing its reputation as one of the best Magento full-page caching solutions out there. LiteMage will always be free and open source!<\/p>\n<p>What do you think about the new Magento Marketplace?
