OpenLiteSpeed is a good choice

smitka

I am team Nginx :-)

As far as I know, Enhance uses very high Max Connections (1000?) in OLS/LSE, which increases server throughput if it has enough power to do so. If not, it eats up the server :-). Nginx can also be set up to use so many resources for this, and now in V12 there is much more room for this kind of optimizations.

But of course I understand that LScache in WP is an all-in-one package, which otherwise needs to be replaced by a lot of other plugins and settings... For a certain group of customers it's definitely a better choice.

smitka Yes LSCache is a huge bonus, you dont have to tweak with things, you just install and basically you are good to go. Preinstall it during website creation and thats it

We test several different factors with webservers - how fast it works with SSL certificates, how fast it serves static files, how fast it sends a simple php script, and how fast it sends our test WordPress installation.

In our test between the 2 servers, I get around 70k req/s on static files from LSE and 250k req/s with Nginx. On WordPress without caching (just php opcache) around 800 req/s and on Nginx with a slightly optimized configuration over 1000 req/s. Establishing an SSL connection takes me 16ms on LSE and 11ms on Nginx. I don't have enough experience with LSE for finetuning though.

I find PHP-FPM more stable under high load than lsphp with multiple max conenctions, because if one request is stalled/blocked, it affects only that one request in the process in FPM, but in lsphp it affects all requests in the process. On the other hand, there is slightly less overhead due to the fact that they are in a single process in lsphp.

smitka what type of subscription you was using on LSE, how many workers, memory etc ?

smitka in my opinion
LiteSpeed/OLX is better
Speed: Usually faster due to LiteSpeed optimizations
Handling multiple requests: Better handling of high traffic due to asynchronous processing
Resource usage: Lower, better memory management

smitka

Kosta Trial with the default Enhance settings, so there's definitely some potential for tuning... Trial version allows 2 workers. Of course, I tried various options that the trial version allows, but nothing had any significant positive effect, unless we want to go into caching. I've been using Nginx for 15 years, so I know where to touch :-)

I heard there is an admin panel for OpenLiteSpeed. How can I access the admin panel on the OpenLiteSpeed instance installed from Enhance?

mendozal

tofandel To access the admin panel you need to open port 7080 in your firewall and use it to access the admin panel.

To reset the admin password you can use:
/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/admpass.sh

But every change you make in the admin panel + the admin password will reset every time there's an enhance upgrade. The feature to remember settings in OLS is not yet implemented.

mendozal still waiting for this year's later

I don't recommend opening the port for your OLS admin. Instead, add your IP to the firewall whitelist.

SolidNetwork

mendozal I think you can use cPFence's OLS Freeze for that.

Carefully read their instructions though, I haven't really used it myself, but if you're interested, I'm sure the cPFence staff can help/guide you through it:

Is this for real?
Every Setting I made hours of tuning resets after just normal updates?

I've taken to hosting client sites on 2GB VPSs, taking advantage of Enhance's reduced requirements with a Free LiteSpeed Enterprise License. I reckon this configuration would suit 95% of clients with a single domain; you can get a 2GB VPS for around €4 from Hetzner with an IPV4, so you are looking at this at the $0.15/month website cost with Enhance. The performance for less than 5€/$5 per month is simply outstanding (Significant improvements in GTMetrix scores, etc.) - I have compared with similar configurations on xCloud with OLS and NGINX and LiteSpeed Enterprise on Enhance is head and shoulders in terms of performance (perhaps more so than even LiteSpeed Enterprise on Plesk and cPanel) - and I agree the WP-admin Dashboard always seems snappier.
Hope you are well!

Second this, with the latest versions, Enhance uses very little memory, so you can handle a decent amount of traffic using the free Starter LSWS plan while enjoying ESI caching, extra security features, and persistent settings. That setup is a perfect fit for any 2GB RAM VM running a solo site. Combined with per-website billing from Enhance and others, it’s a great value. In this setup, it usually works better if you use only the app role and add a 2GB SSD swap, one of the rare cases where we actually recommend using swap.

net I don't recommend opening the port for your OLS admin. Instead, add your IP to the firewall whitelist.

An ssh tunnel is even better.. you can leave the OLS admin port closed on your external firewall then.

Kosta

danh that’s one of the reason I’ve been asking/proposing Enhance to make one two pages with configs and settings for web and db servers so we can set our settings there at panel level and panel to keep this settings/configs forever. And do the tuning there…

JohnB

danh Just make a script that replaces the default config with your saved optimized config. Run this script after updates.
