PHP Is LSAPI (Litespeed) faster than PHP-FPM (Nginx, etc) or not?

Thanks for sharing. Litespeed/OpenLitespeed integration in Centmin Mod is still on the books But priority would be getting CentOS 8/AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux compatibility first

Yes biggest plus is .htaccess native support

Nice to have but remember it's a double edge sword having a web accessible GUI admin. It's a vector for attacks and compromise. FYI, OpenLitespeed had an admin GUI privilege escalation security bug recently Openlitespeed Web Server 1.7.8 - Privilege Escalation Security Issue · Issue #217 · litespeedtech/openlitespeed.

But it's been fixed in next OpenLiteSpeed version 1.7.9

 

Litespeed is faster than Openlitespeed and yes both are on integration plans for Centmin Mod long term wise.

 

No updates right now

 

Litespeed paid, while OpenLiteSpeed is free.

 

OpenLitespeed is Litespeed based, not Nginx based. But OpenLitespeed is missing some of performance that makes Litespeed paid currently faster than Nginx. So really depends.
