Case Study: SigmaWeb achieves 71% lower memory usage and reduced server load with LiteSpeed Web Server

LiteSpeed Cuts Load on WordPress Sites Memory usage decreases by 71% on two high-traffic sites

The Greek hosting provider SigmaWeb faced a challenge when a client's two high-traffic WordPress sites were generating about 70 requests per second, causing server loads of 8-12 with Apache. Anticipating further traffic increases, SigmaWeb needed a solution to handle the scale and turned to LiteSpeed for help, installing their LiteSpeed Web Server product.

By implementing LiteSpeed Web Server via a cPanel plugin, SigmaWeb achieved remarkable results. The server load dropped from an average of 8 to below 1, and memory usage decreased by 71%, falling from over 14GB to under 4GB. This performance boost, credited to LiteSpeed's event-driven architecture, empowered SigmaWeb to confidently enter the high-traffic hosting market.
