LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS)

Q: Is LiteSpeed Web Server Cost effective?

There is a license fee associated with switching from Apache to LiteSpeed Web Server, although this is often much less expensive than the cost of the hardware upgrade required to achieve the same performance gains with Apache.

Q: How does LiteSpeed Web Server compare to Apache and nginx?

The event-driven architecture of nginx and compatibility with Apache's .htaccess were built into the core of the LiteSpeed Web Server from the bottom up. Better performance is achieved by LiteSpeed Web Server's event-driven architecture, which uses less resources than Apache's process-based architecture. With minimal CPU and memory usage, LSWS may simultaneously serve thousands of customers. The LiteSpeed Web Server has no issues handling sudden traffic increases. Additionally, LiteSpeed Web Server is compatible with control panels made for Apache because it can read Apache configuration files directly (unlike nginx). Visit this page comparing LiteSpeed Web Server, Apache, and Nginx for more information.

Q: What about the optimisation features of LSCache?

LSCWP includes Database Optimization, Minification and Combination of CSS and JS files, CDN Support, Browser Cache, Object Cache, Lazy Load for Images, Image Optimization, and more! These features don't need LiteSpeed.

Q: What server software is required for LiteSpeed?

This plugin can only be utilized with a LiteSpeed server. You will require one of the following (any single server or cluster containing one of the following will suffice): LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise with LSCache Module (v5.0.10+) LiteSpeed WebADC (v2.0+) OpenLiteSpeed (v1.4.17+) QUIC.cloud CDN

Q: With which control panels does LiteSpeed Web Server work?

Any control panel that supports Apache, such as Plesk, cPanel and Direct Admin, can be used with LiteSpeed Web Server.

Q: What benefits does LiteSpeed Web Server provide for my system?

Each system may benefit differently depending on the particular server configuration. In general, our customers report experiencing notable drops in server load and measurably faster site loading times. Additional advantages include improved client satisfaction, lower hardware costs, and simplicity of upgrading from Apache. Furthermore, it's a breeze to speed up your sites thanks to LiteSpeed's cache plugins for the most popular CMSs (including WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, PrestaShop, Magento, OpenCart, and more).

Q: Does LiteSpeed Hosting work in a clustered environment?

Yes. The plugin stores cache items at the highest LiteSpeed server level when clustered. LiteSpeed's Web ADC can store cache. If you use a third-party load balancer, cache entries will only be kept at the backend LiteSpeed nodes, and cache purges will not be synchronized. If you want to use LiteSpeed Cache and sync cache entries between nodes, a third-party load balancing solution is not recommended.

Q: Are my images optimized with LiteSpeed Home?

Images will not be automatically optimized unless the LiteSpeed Cache > Image Optimization > Image Optimization Settings > Auto Request Cron option is toggled to the ON position. You also have the option of manually optimizing your photographs.

Maximize and double the capacity for your server

The proprietary, lightweight LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) offers quick performance and resource saving without compromising server security. With LiteSpeed Web Server's optimized event-driven architecture, which can handle thousands of concurrent clients with very little memory or CPU usage, you can double the maximum capacity of your server. It provides excellent levels of scalability, security, and load balancing. Additionally, it supports per-IP connections, built-in anti-DDoS protection, and bandwidth throttling.

Website performance is the main issue that developers and digital firms encounter. A website that loads slowly results in a bad user experience, costing the company customers and ultimately losing money.

Advantages of Using QUIC.cloud CDN

With LiteSpeed you gain the possibility to install QUIC.cloud for free. The only CDN that can cache both static and dynamic WordPress content is QUIC.cloud CDN. QUIC.cloud CDN caches the entire site, including images, CSS, JavaScript, and the dynamic HTML page itself, unlike most CDNs, which only deal with static information. Utilising the Smart Purge feature of LiteSpeed Cache, QUIC.cloud CDN accurately serves your most recent content and purges it as needed.

LiteSpeed Web Server features

Slide in replacement for Apache

LiteSpeed Web Server supports Apache Rewrite Engine, ModSecurity, and Apache configuration files. Plesk, cPanel, DirectAdmin, and others can smoothly integrate with LiteSpeed as a drop-in replacement for Apache. LiteSpeed Web Server can replace Apache in 15 minutes without downtime. Unlike frontend proxies, LiteSpeed replaces all Apache functionality, making use easier and helping your team transfer to a new server.

Management of servers with no downtime

Zero downtime means that LiteSpeed won't cause your website to crash or become unstable. Due to connections being restricted, other web servers encounter downtime when their software is updated. With its graceful restart functionality for version management, LiteSpeed does away with this. Because connections are not blocked, downtime is kept to a minimum.

Concurrent Connections Management

With regard to managing several connections at once, LiteSpeed excels. Compared to Apache and its process-based architecture, it is faster because it is based on an event-driven architecture. In order to make LiteSpeed faster, more able to handle more connections, and less resource-intensive, it starts a new process for each connection and serves them with a small number of processes.

One-Click Cache Acceleration

You may quickly build an instance in three minutes or less thanks to the prebuilt selection of images for well-known cloud platforms!

Each image uses LiteSpeed technology and includes programs like WordPress, Magento, Django, NodeJS, Rails, Plesk, cPanel, DirectAdmin and CyberPanel.

Control Panel Compatibility

All control panels created for Apache are compatible with LiteSpeed Web Server. LiteSpeed has created control panel plugins for some of the most well-liked control panels so you can manage typical LiteSpeed Web Server operations from the panel.

LiteSpeed is compatible with all the control panels we offer, such as Plesk, cPanel and DirectAdmin.

LiteSpeed
Cache

A built-in component of LiteSpeed called LSCache offers high-performance dynamic content acceleration. It eliminates certain URLs via automatic page caching and scheduling. Additionally, LSCache provides independent caching for desktop and mobile views.

When LSCache is enabled, page loading times are significantly accelerated, making it a comprehensive solution for enhancing website speed. There are plugins for the majority of widely used CMS platforms.

QUIC.cloud
CDN

QUIC.cloud CDN can improve website performance in numerous ways. They include faster loading times, lower site latency, enhanced security, automatic caching of static material, watertight uptime and redundancy, and easy integration with LiteSpeed Hosting. The user-friendly content delivery network offers layer 5 HTTP/3 speeds.

Edge Side Includes (ESI)

The ESI Engine is used by the markup language known as Edge Side Includes (ESI). It enables you to separate tiny sections of a dynamic page from the rest of the page and process them independently.

CloudLinux Integration

LiteSpeed Web Server also allows CloudLinux integration, you can install and configure the following with CloudLinux too:

Install LiteSpeed on CloudLinux
CloudLinux + Cpanel EA4 + LSWS
CloudLinux + Plesk + LSWS
Configure PHP without control panel.
