Physics Forums switching to LiteSpeed Enterprise web server

[Greg Bernhardt]

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,"

Do not worry.

--- we won't have to.

Excellent. That should make everything even more better

I assume the update went according to plan?

Yes, how is the site speed?

 

[StevieTNZ]

I have noticed it is loading faster.

Today we upgraded PHP. Any noticeable difference in speed?

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!
