"Fantastic Server"

5/5

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.

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.
