Benchmark: LiteSpeed vs Apache (PHP and Plain HTML)
So I had a play with LiteSpeed just recently. Let’s have a look at what the benchmark says.
Tool used: ApacheBench, Version 2.0.40-dev < $Revision: 1.146 $> apache-2.0
Benchmark object: My WordPress blog (homepage), of course I made an exact copy of the current blog you’re seeing to my VPS box (which has both Apache and LiteSpeed installed).
Both Apache and LiteSpeed use default configuration parameters. Since the benchmark was done on the same server, hardware is the same, however there are some software differences.
