Joomla Benchmarks

We took a demo Joomla site and loaded up its main page (around 378KB) to test our HTTP/2 implementation against that of nginx and Apache. LiteSpeed Web Server was paired with LSCache while nginx and Apache were tested with System Page Cache. Team LiteSpeed handily declared victory by processing more than 400X as many requests as the other servers!
