Why LiteSpeed hosting is faster

LiteSpeed is a high-performance web server designed to serve websites efficiently. Host Luma uses LiteSpeed technology to help WordPress websites load quickly.

Server-level performance

LiteSpeed is built for speed and can handle WordPress traffic efficiently compared with traditional setups when configured properly.

LiteSpeed Cache

LiteSpeed Cache can store ready-made versions of pages, reducing the amount of PHP and database work needed on each visit.

WordPress optimisation

Page caching reduces load times.

Browser cache settings can improve repeat visits.

CSS and JavaScript optimisation can reduce asset weight when configured correctly.

Image optimisation can help reduce page size.

Why hosting still matters

A slow server can hold back even a well-built website. Fast storage, good server configuration and caching all work together.

What customers should still avoid

Too many heavy plugins.

Huge uncompressed images.

Poorly coded themes.

Unoptimised third-party scripts.

Important notes

LiteSpeed helps performance, but no hosting platform can fully fix a badly overloaded WordPress build without optimisation.
