What’s so great about LiteSpeed?
For those that don’t know, I’m an absolute LiteSpeed fanatic. I’ve been using it for over 10 years and had many high traffic sites performing fantastically on it. Quite simply, it saved my business in the early days when other web servers simply couldn’t handle my traffic load. It’s a great product, integrates well with many other software and works especially well on WordPress servers.
