OLS or Nginx For WordPress Using Cloudflare CDN and Full Page Cache

RomanTheRizz

Hello beautiful people!

Just wanted to ask if OLS is suited for websites using Cloudflare CDN and full-page caching. If I were to use Quic Cloud then obviously the choice would be OLS instead of Nginx because of the integration with LScache.

The LScache plugin might be a Swiss knife for multiple WordPress optimizations but I believe that other plugins work way better in specific optimizations like image conversion and optimization. For caching, I am already using Cloudflare Super Cache by Optimole and I find it far superior to just integrating Cloudflare API in LScache.

Also, with OLS we have to restart to see changes done on htaccess (a kind of vulnerability as well).

What's your take on this? For Cloudflare, OLS or Ngnix?

If you want simple, high performant and automated hosting use OLS (for full benifit rewrite and full .htaccess support you should use litespeed enterprise)

NGINX is only useful if you are hosting something specific.

pratik_asabe I am already on Cyberpanel using OLS but there are quite bugs I had to experience from time to time, especially after updating the panel.

Most recent ones:

Litespeed cache unable to fetch Quic cloud API (usually for someone using cloudflare)
CSF disabled and bugged after updating to CP version 3.6 (probably after OLS version updated as well, can see the problem here as well)

Honestly, I don't think Nginx has much of the problems. It appears to be mature and stable than OLS/LS. For plugin compatibility might use Apache as a reverse proxy. People say that Nginx isn't much developed here on Enhance and the developers are more focused on OLS/LS for WordPress websites.
