Ensuring optimal performance for your website or web application requires, among other steps, the installation of a reliable web server. NGINX — a popular and reliable open-source web server — is one of the best options for optimizing your site's or web app's performance. Its primary function is to manage incoming traffic, directing it to the appropriate server while ensuring server security and performance.

In today's connected and dynamic digital landscape, scalable and fault-tolerant applications are critical. HAProxy, with its high availability and load balancing features, is essential for attaining these objectives. HAProxy, which stands for High Availability Proxy, is an open-source software solution that provides TCP- and HTTP-based applications with high availability, load balancing, and proxying. It is often used to divide incoming network traffic among numerous servers to maximize resource utilization, increase application speed and dependability, and achieve high availability.

Optimizing a Content Management System (CMS) in the context of web applications is a frequent occurrence today. Whether you're running your own WooCommerce site, Shopify store, or WordPress blog, having a website that runs efficiently is paramount for your success.

LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) is a proprietary, lightweight web server software that provides fast performance and resource conservation without compromising server security.  It is a popular web server offering high scalability, security, and load balancing. It also provides built-in anti-DDoS capabilities and allows per-IP connections and bandwidth throttling.

Application performance monitoring (APM) brings valuable solutions that companies can use to monitor if their IT environment fits into preferred performance standards. They can also identify issues or potential bugs and provide better user experiences by controlling their IT resources.
