450k visits, OpenLiteSpeed or Nginx

Question

What would be your best option for busy a WooCommerce website with 450K visits monthly (just shy of a million page views), Nginx or OpenLiteSpeed?

I am used to working LiteSpeed but I am considering giving Nginx a try as I read that it performs better at scale.

Hi Ta.

We’re wondering if you can provide more details about nginx “performing better at scale.” Unless there has been a big nginx change of which we are not aware, performance on WordPress with WooCommerce is still around 2.5:1 between OpenLiteSpeed and nginx. We have some benchmarks on our site, including this one on our blog, if you’d like to see some comparisons.

Let us know if you have any more info or questions!

  If I want to get out of nginx and use litespeed, what can I do? I mean web migration.

  Good question. I don’t think there’s an existing/perfect way to migrate nginx settings/modules to OpenLiteSpeed. So I would recommend you just migrate the site to openlitespeed server and do some test first:
  
  Launch the Openlitespeed wordpress image from DigitalOcean One-click
  
  Copy/migrate your existing wordpress site to the web server document root, e.g. /var/www/html
  
  Install LSCache Plugin for high performance
  
  Do some test
  
  Best,
