IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR WEBSITE WITH LITESPEED SERVER | EstNoc

What Is LiteSpeed Web Server??

Litespeed web server or LSWS was launched at the beginning of 2019. It was launched instead of Apache to work as the main web server. The benefit of Litespeed web server over Apache is that Litespeed has the file support of .htaccess and it was considered to be the replacement for Apache. The other major benefits of the Litespeed web server over Apache server are it has the architecture of event-driven, the Litespeed server is also designed with the advanced cache engine, it also has the QUIC and HTTP/2 support and the security features are already built in the litespeed web server. The Litespeed web server can also support the panels of popular hosting, for example DirectAdmin, Plesk and WHM/cPanel.

However, the major hosting panel of the Litespeed web server is hPanel. The virtual host of Litespeed web server has dynamic management, which is based on Openresty and Redis. The function of the hosting panel of Litespeed hPanel involves the saving of the data of the virtual host in Redis. When the receiving of the web request occurs then the data will be brought back by Openrestly. After that, the data is further passed on to the Apache server. The Litespeed web server is launched with the features of using config files. Initially, the Litespeed webserver didn’t have the dynamic management host. Then, with the development of Litespeed version 5.4, the web server is implemented with the fully dynamic management.

With the help of dynamic management, you will not have to reload the services, if you are thinking about updating the software. Therefore, with the introduction of the Litespeed web server, we got the opportunity of getting rid of Openresty and replacing the Apache web server as well. Litespeed web server also helps in minimizing the software stack, as a result the performance of your website will automatically improve. When the Litespeed web server was planned initially, the engineers thought it would take about a month to launch the Litespeed web server. However, after the whole discussion about the implementation of the Litespeed web server, the engineers developed a version of the Litespeed web server with virtual host dynamic management in about a week.

Develops  website

Developing such kind of software in just seven days was really fast. The Litespeed web server was later installed and the migration tools were prepared for the replacement of the Apache web server. After that, the Redis support was added to Litespeed web server version 5.4. The Litespeed web server has gone through a lot of testing and a lot of ups and downs. However, when the final version was released, the improving performance of the website compared to the old one was clearly noticeable. And when the WordPress was tested with the Litespeed web server, the improvement on the website was unbelievable as compared to the Apache web server.
