Inside Our High-Speed Hosting Architecture"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At WPX, we\u2019ve built a custom hosting infrastructure designed specifically for speed, reliability, and performance, and we call it the <strong>WPX Stack<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike generic hosting environments, the WPX Stack is carefully optimized to handle high-performance WordPress and WooCommerce websites, even under heavy traffic. It combines industry-leading technologies like LiteSpeed Web Server, MariaDB, and an advanced caching layer, all managed in-house, to deliver lightning-fast load times and outstanding stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we\u2019ll break down what\u2019s inside the WPX Stack, why it\u2019s different from traditional hosting setups, and how it directly benefits your website\u2019s speed, security, and scalability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WPX hosting stack: Optimized for speed &amp; reliability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At WPX, our hosting environment is built using a powerful <strong>LLMP<\/strong> configuration, which stands for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Linux<\/strong> \u2013 Secure and stable OS at the core of our servers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>LiteSpeed Enterprise Web Server<\/strong> \u2013 Fast, scalable, and efficient performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>MariaDB<\/strong> \u2013 High-performance database system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PHP<\/strong> \u2013 We support versions from <strong>7.4 to 8.4+<\/strong> for compatibility and performance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Built-in performance with OPcache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make sure your website runs as fast as possible, all WPX servers run <strong>OPcache<\/strong>, a caching engine for PHP. This helps speed up your site by storing precompiled script bytecode in memory \u2014 reducing server load and boosting response times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our LiteSpeed and OPcache configurations maximize speed by default; you can test how these server stack improvements impact your asset loading via the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wpx.net\/tools\/\">WPX tools suite<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LiteSpeed Cache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you wish to enable LiteSpeed default cache, you would have to install the LiteSpeed Cache plugin, which you can find here: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/litespeed-cache\/\" class=\"ek-link\">https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/litespeed-cache\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This LiteSpeed Cache plugin offers features like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Full-page caching<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Image optimization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lazy loading<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Database cleanup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And more \u2014 tailored specifically for LiteSpeed servers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information about LiteSpeed\/MariaDB\/PHP versions can be found in the following <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wpx.net\/kb\/what-version-of-php-mysql-is-currently-running-on-wpx\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"article.
