If you’re serious about website success online, LiteSpeed is a brilliant and affordable tool – and if you get stuck, ask for Jackson! He’s your man.
The web is still full of poorly engineered and optimised business websites, which is great news for anyone who knows what they are doing and why they are doing it. Like many small agencies, my reputation depends on the success of my business clients’ websites – when they’re successful, I am too. While there is plenty of nuance, the bottom line is this – speed = money, bookings, sales, and awareness.
I’ve tried every optimisation tool and technique under the sun (e.g. WP Rocket, ShortPixel, WPMU, etc) – but at the end of the day, I also need to be profitable, so my solutions need to be easily implemented, highly-effective, well-supported, and affordable. Since I started managing my own server farms, those things are important more than ever – and that’s what I got with LiteSpeed. It’s now a staple dev tool for speed and optimisation efforts – because it works. Yesterday’s site came up 100% for both mobile and desktop on Google PageSpeed, that’s no small potatoes. It was this site that I was working on all day yesterday when I ran into some difficulty with one issue. After a 14 hour day, I had all but given up on the idea of sorting before tomorrow when I sent out my SOS to LiteSpeed for input. I never counted on a reply so bloody quickly – less than 1 hour (after hours too), with a simple solution (of course), so I came back to implement it – that’s when I got my Google PageSpeed results – what a result!? Great timing, Jackson – a big thank you for that and the reason for my review today.
The bottom line: LiteSpeed isn’t a pretty face, but it does a bloody good job, and comes with all the bells and whistles a website needs to be successful online. I highly recommend them, obviously. And if you get stuck, don’t forget – ask for Jackon, he’s your man 😉
