LiteSpeed vs. Apache & Nginx Web Servers
As a website or business owner, the choice of which hosting platform to use may not be of much interest, but according to W3Techs, standard Apache servers power more than 30% of websites and are used by more websites than any other hosting platform.
But is it the fastest?
This is direct from LiteSpeed themselves – The test compared loading WordPress using HTTP/2, LiteSpeed and LSCache for LiteSpeed plugin against Nginx and Apache.
LiteSpeed WordPress hosting is reported as 84 x faster than Apache and 12 x faster than Nginx.
