OpenLiteSpeed vs Nginx for static caching?

Proxecure

I prefer Nginx + opcache + TCP (PHP-FPM) + Redis

Adding to it after 4 months is what is stupid.

the same here, personal choice is Nginx - very easy to manage and very stable based on my experience.

you will need know how to change Litespeed to TCP
you will need to be aware of LS htaccess problems (very sensitive and can be hacked)

Unix socks perform better than tcp socks
why this is horrible and crashes

@jcaklee - Please don't necropost, thank you.

Easy to manage? If you have knowledge... What about rewrite rules in some specific CMS?

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

I need my glasses so I don't login to comment on necros.

OLS benchmarks are not trustworthy. They rigged their benchmarks. For OLS they enable caching but for Nginx they didn't enable FCGI caching. And they don't care about their open-source version either. If there is any bug you are on your own for good enough time. If you know C++ and can patch things yourself, you can go for it. Or if you can pay BilohBucks you can try their enterprise version to receive support and quicker patches.

Try to test it by yourself.
To be honest, i was surpriced several months ago when i tried to test them.
Before the testing i was skeptical about their benchmarks, but results pretty surprised me. Yes, they're fast. But the sad part - they're bugged as heck.

Try to do it with Data Life Engine CMS then you will see if is easy or not. Nginx is great but requires know-how...

Use nginx + fastcgi + redis on WP with php8.1and latest MariaDB ... work great, tryed opelitespeed and litespeed enterprise, not even close.

This is old, awful, sucks CMS, that I know since maybe 2006 or like that. The CMS mostly used on warez websites, almost no extensions, and awful customization.

I do not underestand why people using the CMS.
But even for this awful CMS possible to write try_files rules properly.
But i will not help you with that.

I can assure you they have quality in their CMS, but the problem is clearly the nginx rules which is not easy like your said in your posts above.

I didn't ask for your help in rewrite rules. I just stated the obviously nginx is not easy for everything or every job. This CMS is the proof of that. Also they provide nginx rewrite rules if you pay for the license which is a quite let's say "ridiculous" for some side..

I use Nginx, but for some purposes like this CMS it may waste your time. DLE in a lot of ways it much light than wordpress. That is one of pros of using DLE instantly of Wordpress. The cons is obviously if you work with nginx it can be literally a headache, even rewrite rules being applied sometimes you get Error inside posta, articles and homepage fully working.

That is to say Nginx is good but not for everyone and requires know-how also like others.

fastcgi_cache + wordpress = lite wordpress too.
Proper modern themes (dozens of them, start with oceanWP, blocksy, astra) - also extremely lightweight and super-fast.

WP slow - because of weird plugins coded by non skilled at all people. Any quality in WP market - costs money. Otherwise DIY, or hire someone.
