3. Overview
LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) is a high-performance Apache drop-in replacement.
It’s the 4th most popular web server in use today, trusted by more than a million web
sites.
It includes a super powerful built-in server-side cache, along with ready-to-use plugins
for popular CMSs.
LSWS features the latest technologies: HTTP/2, TLS/1.3, QUIC, Brotli compression ...

4. Free & Open Source LSCache Plugins
Available for All Popular CMSs
LSCache is a powerful server-side
cache. CMS plugins instruct the
server what to cache and when to
purge. This allows complicated
dynamic CMS pages to be cached
properly and precisely.

LSWS provides the fastest HTTPS and
HTTP/2 performance. HTTP2 server push
is supported.
ESI (Edge Side Include) Cache
Punch holes for private/changeable data on
public pages using ESI. Together with
LSCache, ESI lets you serve the entire
mixed-content page from cache.
Brotli compression
Brotli compression (superior to gzip) available
for both static and dynamic content.
TFO (TCP Fast OPEN)
Speeds up TCP connections.

11. Better than cPnginx
No need for messy NGINX-Apache hybrid
setups. Removes one layer of proxy, which
means faster serving of dynamic content.
No more Varnish needed
LSCache is faster and uses less
CPU/memory compared to Varnish. No
extra layer for HTTPS termination
required.
No need to migrate to NGINX
No need to deal with NGINX rewrites. Stop
harassing your sys-admins.
No more wasting time tuning your Apache
LiteSpeed has an event-driven architecture like
NGINX. Apache is a multi-process, multi-
threaded server, which cannot come close to the
performance of an event-driven server, no
matter how you tune it.
