Summary

HTTP/2 Test Results

h2load -n 10000 -c 10 -t 1 -T 5 -m 10 -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate' https://domain.com/joomla/

Server	Requests / Sec	MB / Sec	Failures	Header Compression
LiteSpeed	55647	233.26	0	96.6%
Nginx	130.6	0.61	0	23.59%
Apache	109.1	0.48	0	78.54%

Please note: We usually run the h2load test with -c 100, but in this case there were too many errors occurring with nginx and Apache. We reduced -c to 10 for this reason.

Joomla test shows LiteSpeed Web Server is 426X faster than Nginx and 510X faster than Apache.
