We've never been disappointed with LiteSpeed's capability to deliver. I'm also impressed with the level of support provided by the LiteSpeed team whenever we need anything.
We have been serving some of the biggest and busiest e-commerce sites in Indonesia - thanks to LiteSpeed Enterprise.
[LSCache] is as good as, if not better than, Varnish while maintaining full compatibility with the web server, which is a huge plus.
PHP & MySQL just can't handle such traffic unless you have a large infrastructure, and that would cost a lot. The secret here is to deploy LiteSpeed and enable the cache.
Its anti-flood technologies, additional attention to security and DDoS protection features have proven invaluable in continuing to provide a solid platform.
We have tried optimizing Apache and Nginx for Magento customers, but Litespeed always wins hands down. The customization that Litespeed offers is second to none and we have huge flexibility in changing the LiteSpeed config.
In conclusion, do you know any other websites in the Alexa top 300 that run on three old web servers?
Its a good investment if you plan to increase your server's performance, but don't want to upgrade hardware.
We found that we could process thousands or tens of thousands of requests per second on Litespeed while using only a fraction of the system resources Apache would require under the same workload.
