LiteSpeed servers are event-driven servers, and less hardware is needed to handle the same load as a process-based server. This means the CPU and RAM don’t need to be used as much, freeing them up to make your website faster.
It depends on what you’re looking for. LiteSpeed has incredible server speeds, resource distribution and allocation, and security. Apache is more user friendly, and also has these features but does not outperform LiteSpeed.
Both have event-driven architecture, making them speedier than Apache. LiteSpeed has shown better results on benchmarks tests when up against NGINX, however.
With an LiteSpeed web server, your site will be able to handle more traffic without sacrificing speed or requiring more resources.
Yes, with additional modsec rules, anti-ddos measures, the http/3 protocol (and some other cool features), LiteSpeed is a lot more secure than traditional hosting.
