If you’re looking to dramatically boost your server’s speed, reduce load times, and increase website performance, switching from Apache to LiteSpeed is one of the best upgrades you can make. LiteSpeed Web Server is a high-performance, drop-in replacement for Apache that’s fully compatible with existing Apache configurations — including .htaccess, mod_rewrite, and mod_security.
Whether you’re hosting WordPress, WooCommerce, or resource-heavy PHP apps, moving from Apache to LiteSpeed on WHM offers better speed, scalability, DDoS protection, and built-in caching.
At HostraGo, we recommend LiteSpeed for websites seeking faster TTFB, lower CPU usage, and enhanced performance without changing code.
