Switch to LiteSpeed Enterprise: Improving Page Loading & Security

  • Thread starter Greg Bernhardt
  • Start date
In summary, on Monday PF will be replacing the Apache web server with LiteSpeed Enterprise, which is expected to improve page loading. The upcoming version of LiteSpeed will be even faster due to the use of SPDY. There may be some temporary issues during the switch, but there is no need to worry. The update will take place in the evening and should not be affected by government restrictions. The recent upgrade to PHP has also improved site speed, especially in the chat. However, there have been some reports of users being logged out after a few minutes of inactivity, which may or may not be related to the server work.

On Monday PF will be ditching Apache web server for LiteSpeed Enterprise. This should have a positive effect on page loading. The next version of LiteSpeed, which should be stable any week now, will be even more quicker as we take advantage of SPDY (improves SSL processing).

The web server is pretty central to operations here so switching over and configuring it may bring a few hiccups. Any problems should be short lived. Do not worry.

As long as it's not prefaced with "I'm from the government,"

Im noticing a better speed, especially in the chat which is good.
Today when I logged in I keep seeing that I keep constantly getting logged out if idle for a couple of minutes, not sure if this is to do with the server work - may just be me!
