Most of users ask themselves – should I choose Apache server or maybe LiteSpeed server?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I will try to help with answer to that question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the most of site servers are based on Apache system , but servers based on LiteSpeed is gaining more and more popularity . Customers for whom the main measure of the site is performance should be interested in such a solution, because it can be much more efficient than the server based on Apache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 What should lead the client to choose a server based on Litespeed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Users with very expanded websites based on the popular CMS WordPress, Joomla or Drupal use a lot of plugins and images to create them. All these “add-ons” mean that the site can be sluggish and resource-consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 For very expanded big websites a big problem with efficency should be a big .htaccess file which directly affects to efficency of site , because every time must be loaded and processed. On Litespeed server, loading .htaccess file is solved differently through using .htaccess caching , so  .htaccess does not affect negatively to efficency of site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other thing that can affect efficiency of website is using SSL acceleration , which affects directly loading speed of https page, that will work three times faster than on Apache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 API of LiteSpeed server is loading dynamic content of web application definitely faster than other API which is the cause that PHP, Ruby, Python works to 50% faster than Apache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  LiteSpeed architecture also allows to handle static query much faster then Apache with high page load it can be even 10 times faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Certainly many users can ask about compatibility with the currently used Apache module, in this matter LiteSpeed is compatible with all basic modules like mod_rewrite, mod_security, mod_include or mod_cache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summary, wanting to choose server for big sites which has many visits, LiteSpeed will be definitely a better choice due to the processing efficency of the elements used on websites and compatibility with modules created for Apache.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If site is rarely visited and is a straight page it isn\u2019t worth investing additional resources in hosting based on LiteSpeed , because webiste very often don\u2019t take advantage of the possibilities offered by LiteSpeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
