LiteSpeed vs. Apache: The Ultimate Benchmark

We put the two most popular web servers head-to-head. See why LiteSpeed is becoming the preferred choice for high-traffic environments.

For decades, Apache has been the backbone of the internet. But as traffic demands increase, its process-based architecture struggles to keep up.

The Event-Driven Difference

LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) uses an event-driven architecture, similar to NGINX, allowing it to handle thousands of concurrent connections with a fraction of the memory footprint.

The Results

In our internal benchmarks, WordPress running on LiteSpeed with LSCache enabled handled 5x more requests per second than Apache before failing.
