    What do you like best about the product?
    My wordpress site is now ridiculously fast. I click on a page and it loads instantly. Not like... a second of waiting and it pops up, it loads INSTANTLY. I don't even understand how it's possible, considering how slow my site was before.

    Additionally, all of the support guys are very cool, and very patient. They often go above and beyond the normal scope of support in order to help me with whatever I'm working on. My site is complex... but they have managed to help me simplify it.

    I'm actually downsizing my server after getting this set up. I don't use a fraction of the server resources that I did before. This is saving me like $100/month on my Amazon EC2 instance.

    I'm really glad that I found Litespeed.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I honestly have no complaints. If I HAD to think of something to complain about, it's that I can't manage everything through Plesk. I have my plesk panel, and I have a separate Litespeed panel.

    It's really not a big deal at all, but apparently this is a required field and I have to enter something.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    My site was slow and consumed a ton of server resources. Now it's 10 times faster, and on a server half the size of my old one.

    What do you like best about the product?
    Through its lightning-fast speed, lower server load, improved security, WordPress integration, ease of migration, and broad compatibility, LiteSpeed Web Server is the complete package.
    It's the key to enhancing our websites and making our visitors happy.
    Custormer support is good from my experience.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Unlike free alternatives like Apache, LiteSpeed has a cost, possible that not everyone can afford this.
    Little support from the community, finding assistance could be more difficult with LiteSpeed as there isn't as large of a support group as there is with other servers in case of issues.
    Intergration with other software is difficult and thus has a learning curve element.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    LiteSpeed Web Server offers enhanced performance (caching, CDN), scalability, security, efficiency, and compatibility in order to tackle the main issues that our websites encounter.
    By getting over these challenges, LiteSpeed improves website users' online experiences and gives our website real advantages in terms of speed, dependability, security, and affordability.
