LiteSpeed Web Server Overview

What is LiteSpeed Web Server?

LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) is compatible with commonly used Apache features, including mod_rewrite, .htaccess, and mod_security. LSWS can load Apache configuration files directly and works as a drop-in replacement for Apache while fully integrating with popular control panels — replacing Apache in less than 15 minutes with zero downtime. Unlike other frontend proxy-based solutions, LSWS replaces all Apache functions, simplifying use and making the transition from Apache easy while also allowing your team to move confidently with little-to-no retraining.

Description

LiteSpeed Technologies was founded in early
00
by a team of engineers led by George Wang.It started with LiteSpeed Web Server: a high-performance, event-driven web server, built from the ground up, with the goal of improving internet speed and reducing system resources.When we wanted better server capacity, we built the innovative LiteSpeed Cache engine. When we wanted to integrate intelligent caching with popular web applications, we built a series of handy plugins for WordPress, Magento, Joomla, and more.When we wanted fast and accurate cached content on a global scale, we built QUIC.cloud CDN: the world’s first CDN capable of caching dynamic WordPress content at the CDN level.Every time our team has encountered a bottleneck on the quest for a faster internet, we’ve done the work and built a solution.Will there be more bottlenecks and more challenges ahead? We sure hope so. Because we’ll be right here, innovating and providing unique antidotes to common speed problems. Like we have for over twenty years.Visit our Slack Community to connect with other LiteSpeed enthusiasts: https://www.litespeedtech.com/slack

What do you like best about LiteSpeed Web Server?

We've recently upgraded our web servers to Litespeed and we're amazed at the difference in performance. We needed some support in ironing out a few teething problems and the team at Litespeed couldn't have been more helpful and supportive. They looked into the problems we were having and found a solution quickly and gave us instructions on how to resolve it. Big shout out to Jackson and Gary who spent time helping us.

Our customers are already commenting on how much quicker our sites are loading and that, for us, is what getting Litespeed Enterprise Web Server was all about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LiteSpeed Web Server?

Litespeed web server helps streamline resource usage and maximizes server performance, security and compatibility. It's faster and more powerful than traditional caching, and typically loads 2-5x faster. The perfect blend of performance, compatibility and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiteSpeed Web Server?

I have used litespeed web server and have to say that it is fastest. i am also happy with how easy to install or configure. The only thing that bothers me is the backend panel, It needs to be more intuitive and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LiteSpeed Web Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the past, our team had to constantly manage server resources. i would see system usage spike regularly, need to boost up the resources and it would just continue to be a never-ending battle. We later on started using litespeed web server and was amazed at how smoothly everything ran. Which leads to increase website speed, It was a huge relief. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LiteSpeed Web Server?

LiteSpeed gives me comprehensive config choices that make it all easy for reinforcing security & efficiency for our web applications. We can modify our web servers with all privileges without worrying about its license payments thanks to LiteSpeed. It provides a lot of scalability features and security governance for our databases during data transmission with SSL & TLS standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiteSpeed Web Server?

Its dedicated server is a bit costly when compared to its shared hosting server. One needs to evaluate the business requirement accurately and discuss with clients on their preferences. A dedicated server is useful only in cases where we need to maximize the performance without compromising the usage. For all other requirements, we can go with the shared hosting server itself as we don't need to worry about turning them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LiteSpeed Web Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

LiteSpeed web server helps us build internal servers to publish web applications and also external servers for our clients. Since it's a user-friendly platform in which applications can be developed with open source tools, we can integrate specific tools for determining vulnerabilities, managing database applications and overview configuration management in our production environment. We can mention the object lifetime duration for our web server and make use of its one-click cache acceleration for improving the storage performance of our server.

What do you like best about LiteSpeed Web Server?

The server comes preconfigured for almost all the scenarios you can imagine. Sets up quickly and you're ready to roll without much configuration. The page speed scores have always been great when I have used LiteSpeed Server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiteSpeed Web Server?

Sometimes 'cache clearing' conflicts with apps, particularly some plugins on WordPress CMS. The result of this is that you don't see changes you make to the pages immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LiteSpeed Web Server:

If you are using WordPress, please Google for some optimal LiteSpeed Cache Plugin configurations that people have suggested. This really helped me at the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LiteSpeed Web Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

My clients from India are usually on the look for cost-effective solutions. LiteSpeed server along with their cache plugin achieves everything in terms of caching and speed, all in a very economical way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LiteSpeed Web Server?

LiteSpeed has pretty consistent speed. To that end, it seems like it's fast enough that the whole stack appears to have headroom built into it.

In this way, the TTFB and load-speed of everything I've tested on it has had very little variability.

That means that it's consistently handling anything I've thrown at it with ease and almost nothing slows it down.

That power means that I've ticked off another item of low-hanging fruit and can now concentrate on other achievements.

It just makes life easier and simpler and results in a bit less work.

Also, the Wordpress caching plugin is as fully-featured and effective as even the most complicated ones I've tried elsewhere. Supercache, Totalcache, Hypercache and a few others.

Big fan. Haven't had any problems yet, just great results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiteSpeed Web Server?

I haven't had any problems with it so far.

Nothing to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LiteSpeed Web Server:

Unless you're on NGINX, you have to give LiteSpeed a try.

In both my direct experience and also research, it's faster than Apache and lets you just move on to optimizing your sites in other ways! Hallelujah! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LiteSpeed Web Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

Slow loading speed. Slow response time. Slow page paint. Critical render path.

Also, balancing out demands on the server when resources are being taxed slowed down other servers.

Another issue that LSS helps with is counterbalancing slower page assets from external sources, like any AdSense content, sharing plugins that pull external JS, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
