How are you liking enhance & Performance Discussion

Ned

Hey All,

Been away from the hosting sphere for a bit of time but I'm looking at refreshing some offerings - at the time NGINX was baby steps for enhance but I feel like right now it's a more robust offering to tinker with.

I'll be setting up a Ryzen VPS and putting some control panels through their paces - Finding a decent WordPress template to use as a tester for load and performance before giving it a crack.

My go-to stack is going to be BunnyCDN, Bricks/Oxygen for WP, Woo. It used to be Apache on the ApisCP config but I am taking a liking to NGINX, then LS and OLS (In that order)

Would have loved to see some love towards Percona, Dragonfly, Relay, KeyDB or other drop in improvments but I understand things take priority and time.

I loved using enhance when I was trialling it some time ago and hope to see the improvments it's made in the last year and a bit! Good to see several secuirty vendors in here offering their tools as well now!

Keen to hear what everyone's loving and their experiences with Enhance, v12 looked like an awesome technical update as well so looks like a great time for me to get back into it! 🙂

Yes, v12 is a big step forward. RAM usage is noticeably better, and the new architecture really simplifies the whole hosting experience for both end users and developers. v12 is indeed a solid foundation that has been built and will significantly help Enhance grow with more new features in the coming years.

As for web servers, NGINX is great, but we’re big fans of Enhance paired with OLS/LS. OpenLiteSpeed and Enhance work so well together, it’s a combination that brings simplicity, flexibility, and excellent performance for all popular CMSs out of the box. It's a winning combination that's hard to beat. And once Enhance releases the OLS settings persistence feature, it’ll be a game changer for people who don’t want to rely on extra tools like OLS Freeze. That said, NGINX is still a solid option depending on your setup and needs.

cPFence I have used LSCache for WordPress, a lot. However, I also work with Drupal and Laravel, and did not realise they too were supported until looking at the link you shared, so thank you for that.

You're welcome! Yes, LiteSpeed’s benefits go beyond just WordPress. Having optimized plugins for all major CMS platforms is a big win for hosting companies looking to offer top performance across different applications.
