LiteSpeed Support Forums - View Single Post - Litespeed vBulletin index.php benchmarks

With some help from Litespeed folks, got litespeed's inbuilt cache feature setup to work with vBulletin's boost/varnish plugin - basically just import/install product-boostv1.xml‎ on your vB 3.8.x or vB 4.0.x forums and setup Litespeed cache options in Litespeed admin console and drop in some vB specific .htaccess rewrite code and you're set.

The speed boost for guest visitors is crazy - between >16x to 123x times faster in different apachebench config tests!

Now to retest apachebench with above same settings for requests and concurrency with Litespeed inbuilt cache enabled resulted in Litespeed inbuilt cached tests being up to 721x times faster than Apache, or 91x times faster than Litespeed alone without the inbuilt cache enabled!

Look at the cpu load for cached tests and no php memory usage at all

:: Jan 28th, 2011: Correction to findings
I have to revise my findings a bit for Nginx. The failed requests seem to be from content length varying between apachebench requests and not due to failure requests related to connections/exceptions errors. Content length varies due to dynamic nature of php pages tested as as long as content length reported by apachebench as Document Length is nearly the same, it still means a successfully served request regardless. Full summary here

Litespeed admin console cache policy and settings

* need to create cache path directory /lscache

Code:

Cache Storage Settings

Storage Path: /lscache
Max Object Size: 262144

Enable Cache:No
Cache Request with Query String:Yes
Cache Request with Cookie:Yes
Cache Response with Cookie:Yes
Ignore Request Cache-Control:Yes
Ignore Response Cache-Control:Yes

.htaccess used provided vB forum installed in domain/doc root

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule test.php - [E=Cache-Control:max-age=45]
RewriteRule hello.php - [E=Cache-Control:max-age=45]

#RewriteCond &#37;{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$
#RewriteRule /forum/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/forum/$1 [R=301,L]


RewriteCond &#37;{HTTP_COOKIE} !zzimloggedin=yes
RewriteCond &#37;{HTTP_COOKIE} !zzuserid=
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !zzpassword=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^HEAD|GET$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !s=[a-fA-F0-9]{32}
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !product=vbnexus
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(login|register|usercp|private|profile|cron|image|search)\.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^admincp
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)?$ - [L,E=Cache-Control:max-age=120]

To confirm Litespeed Cache is working check the file header for X-LiteSpeed-Cache = hit

for index.php header via Firefox Firebug addon

Code:

Content-Encoding	gzip
Vary	Accept-Encoding
Date	Wed, 26 Jan 2011 16:40:00 GMT
Server	LiteSpeed
Connection	Keep-Alive
Keep-Alive	timeout=5, max=100
X-LiteSpeed-Cache	hit
Content-Length	6406
X-Powered-By	PHP/5.3.5
Content-Type	text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
Cache-Control	private
Pragma	private

Check /lscache directory contents

Code:

Note: To be able to use Litespeed Inbuilt Cache feature you need >2 cpu Litespeed license. VPS and 1 CPU Licenses don't have the Inbuilt Cache supported.
