LiteSpeed Server

Our websites are hosted on LiteSpeed servers in Europe so you get maximum speed. LiteSpeed is a modern web server technology, and benchmark comparisons with Apache and nginx show that LiteSpeed servers are among the fastest options on the market.

The following charts show how many requests per second the three servers processed during our test series. The higher the number, the better the result.

Static files do not require processing, so this test is useful for measuring server response times. How quickly can each server deliver small static files?

When we compare the PHP "Hello World" application, we are not testing real production conditions. However, this is the best way to isolate the communication between the web server and PHP from the processing of the PHP code itself. In this test, what matters most is how efficiently the server communicates with the PHP engine.

WordPress is a heavy PHP application, so caching is strongly recommended. In this test, each server is combined with a suitable caching option.

As you can see in the image above, the difference made by a LiteSpeed server with cache plugins is significant. LiteSpeed benchmarks, compared with nginx and Apache, speak for themselves. When you move to LiteSpeed Web Server, you can expect meaningful speed improvements for your websites. Here is an example speed measurement from GTmetrix.

What we hope you noticed is that OpenLiteSpeed servers easily outperform the competition. If you want speed both in page loading and in server response, try OpenLiteSpeed with iChipHost support.
