SigmaWeb's experience shows how LiteSpeed Web Server's event-driven architecture and optimized coding can cut the load for popular web applications like WordPress. LiteSpeed slashed the number of processes the server had to create, reducing overhead — and this improvement was available in minutes through our cPanel plugin.

In August 2014, we switched to LiteSpeed+suEXEC Daemon mode.

Our services run faster, mainly due to this freed up RAM now being utilized for disk caching.
