nginx fans will always manage to generate metrics that show how it is the fastest thing in the world, while LS fans will always say how many times faster that is." The reality is that they are both very fast servers, and when they are properly configured you are not going to notice a big speed difference between them unless you have incredibly high rates of traffic. "You will find a lot of comparisons between nginx and LiteSpeed / OpenLiteSpeed, mostly focusing on speed. We have sites running on both and there is little real speed difference as I wrote in my first post in this thread: Needless to say, I am sold on Lightspeed - and good hardware.Ĭlick to expand.I don't agree with this, both are very fast and very capable servers. Finally, I used both Cloudflare and, which may be overkill, but I wanted to see just how far I could push the envelope. It has a 10G connection, which I wonder if it is even a benefit since his website did not stream YouTube videos. My Litespeed server only had a few websites. Tech support stated they couldn't do anything about it. Let's contrast: the Big Daddy server with Deluxe cPanel WordPress hosting was obscenely slow. At that point, the website ran as fast as any static website I'd seen in a long time. A few days later, I installed the WP LSCache plugin. It would have been fine to leave it alone at that point. Once I migrated the site to our new Litespeed server, it was already surprisingly fast. However, this website was so slow that I would describe it as disabled. It looked like they knew what they were doing.
My client spent a lot of money on WordPress developers to speed up his website. Or would you recommend I don't touch the defaults until I want to go full Enterprise version? Or is the whole Litespeed web server overhyped when caches and CDNs are used properly? (It looks like it lowers time to first byte which can be important, so. So I wanted to ask: is the openlitespeed install worth it? Is it reasonably trouble-free (figure mostly wordpress-based web sites)? When things break is the documentation available to point in the right direction? htaccess files, with the plan to move on to the paid version if/when justified.
I can install openlitespeed, and make a cron job to look for changed.(I can install nginx-apache and use nginx as a cache, but I'm inclined not to do this for now.I can leave things as-is on Apache, with the plan to migrate to something faster once I have a few clients.Makes sense so far, right? Don't need it, but if it makes for a faster site for my users (and better rankings) then I want it.Īnyway, it looks like I can configure things a couple of ways before I go live:
It looks like LiteSpeed might solve speed issues and might be wonderful, but I don't have any users and I don't want to start paying $550 per year for Litespeed Enterprise before I have any paying customers, on top of the costs of DA, cloudlinux, etc. In the mean-time I've been running a busy site on nginx, and I've tweaked, and tweaked, and tweaked to try and get that time to first bite lower on a php-based site. I'm just getting back to offering shared hosting to others after about a decade off. New DA user here, but not new to web hosting.
