OpenLiteSpeed Node.js¶

Information
OpenLiteSpeed is an open-source web server platform designed for hosting WordPress-based sites. It runs on OpenLiteSpeed software, which is a lightweight and efficient alternative to Apache and Nginx servers. It supports HTTP/3 (QUIC), built-in caching, SSL/TLS, and virtual hosts. OpenLiteSpeed does not run Node.js code directly but acts as a reverse proxy. Additionally, the platform supports content caching and performance optimization, reducing server load.
OpenLiteSpeed Node.js. Core Features¶
- High performance: OpenLiteSpeed can handle a large number of requests in a short time.
- Resource management: OpenLiteSpeed can efficiently manage server resources, allowing a more effective reduction of server load.
- Isolation: The Node.js application runs separately (via node, PM2, systemd, etc.) on localhost:3000 (or another port).
- Routing: OpenLiteSpeed receives external requests (port 80/443) and forwards them to the Node.js backend.
- Support for WebSocket, HTTP/2, HTTP/3 for modern applications.
- Protection: OpenLiteSpeed handles static content, SSL, caching, compression, and DDoS protection—offloading Node.js.
- Management via web interface: OpenLiteSpeed offers a convenient web interface for server management.
