LiteSpeed quietly powers 2.5% of the web
Original: LiteSpeed runs 2.5% of the indexed web and gets none of the nginx drama. No conference talks, no flame wars. Just 678,00
LiteSpeed Technologies' web server currently runs about 2.5% of the indexed web, roughly 678,000 sites, including the company's own homepage. Unlike nginx, which regularly attracts public controversy and debate among developers, LiteSpeed generates almost no discussion, conference talks, or community conflict. Observers note it simply serves traffic quietly, making it one of the least-discussed but steadily used pieces of web infrastructure.
Why now: People are drawn to the contrast between a widely used web server that avoids the public drama surrounding rivals like nginx.
