there are some guys on Facebook who I will not mention saying that Litespeed is the fastest stack for WordPress

[Richard]

on Facebook

How to say this nicely? The reason they say these things on Facebook groups is because they are “private” and nobody can call out their bulls**t publicly. They’re going after the casual WordPress users who are looking for web hosting options better than GoDaddy.

According to Litespeed employees it is “6x better” than SlickStack

what exactly does “better” mean lmao

I believe this debate was settled on Reddit a few years ago, showing GTMetrix results were actually much faster using SlickStack than many popular Litespeed websites. Of course this angered the Litespeed fanbois, who said it meant nothing.

The point is that any expert sysadmin could make their favorite stack faster or slower by playing with the configuration, software always evolves and usually keeps getting better so either Apache or Nginx or Litespeed or anything you prefer is FINE just learn how to optimize it well and use good security settings….

what exactly does “better” mean lmao

VERY MUCH BETTER

All I know is the LS Cache WordPress plugin has broken many of my clients sites, some of the features are very advanced and most users mess it up. Probably not Litespeed’s fault but some of those features should not be used on your average WP site– for example ESI.

Litespeed is great for cPanel hosting, check out A2 Hosting, very solid.

[Andrea]

cPanel is extremely inefficient for launching new sites…

[Laura]

That’s actually pretty funny that Litespeed felt the need to make up fake statistics about SlickStack performance 😆

[Bruce]

Never forget:

Litespeed servers seem like a marketing scam, are they really faster? from selfhosted

[Walter]

Litespeed are a bunch of shills and liars, run by citizens of China.

[Samuel]

Ah, the geopolitics of open source software

always pleasure inducing!

[Hannah]

In my tests, SlickStack was 6x better than Litespeed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
