LiteSpeed optimisation: the engine that makes everything feel instant

Most websites run on the same tired server software. LiteSpeed is the modern engine underneath: it does the same job faster and remembers its answers, so it barely has to work at all.

LiteSpeed at Cittago

The fastest work is the work you skip

On every visit, a typical website rebuilds the page from scratch: it runs code, queries the database and assembles everything, again and again, for every single visitor.

It’s invisible, constant and slow, and it’s exactly why websites crawl just as a campaign sends the crowds in.

LiteSpeed changes the maths: it builds the page once and serves the copy instantly. Add object caching, and the site stays fast under load, ranks better and costs less to run. We tune it for every site, because a badly configured cache is worse than none.

What you get

What we set up for you

Two layers of caching, tuned to how your website actually works.

01

Server-level caching

Pages served ready-made, not rebuilt on every visit.

Pages are served from cache in milliseconds, with no rebuild for every visitor and no slowdown when lots of people arrive at once.

02

Object caching

Database work gets remembered too.

Database answers are remembered too, so dynamic pages stay fast where it counts.

03

Tuned to each site

Cache rules that fit the site, not default settings.

The cache rules follow the way your website actually works, not the factory defaults.

04

Measured before and after

The speed difference, in real measurements.

You see the speed difference in real measurements, taken before and after, not in promises.

05

Carts and accounts, done right

Personal pages never get a stale copy.

Carts, logins and other personal pages are handled separately, so nobody is served an out-of-date copy.

06

Fast when the crowds arrive

The campaign goes live; the site stays just as fast.

When a campaign sends lots of visitors at once, the server hands out ready-made copies instead of rebuilding the page for each one. Images and scripts are a job for speed optimisation.

The website speed page

Do you also need a website, SEO or email marketing? We are a full team: what we do not do directly, we deliver with trusted partners, to the same standard.

What it is not

What LiteSpeed at Cittago is not

Four things you will not get from us.

  • A plugin left on default settings

    A badly configured cache is worse than none; we tune it to your website.

  • Personal pages served from cache

    Carts, accounts and forms are handled separately, so everyone sees their own data.

  • A substitute for page optimisation

    LiteSpeed works on the server; images and scripts are a job for speed optimisation.

  • Speed promises

    We measure before and after and show you the difference.

How we work

How we set up LiteSpeed

It all starts with a cold and under-load test. Then, three stages.

It all starts with a conversation: we measure how the site copes cold and under load and tell you whether a faster engine underneath would pay for itself. From there, our method has three stages.

  1. 01

    We test cold and under load

    We know where we’re starting from.

    We measure how the site responds on a first visit and when lots of people arrive at once.

  2. 02

    We set up both cache layers

    Server and objects, tuned to the site.

    We switch on server-level and object caching and write the rules for carts, accounts and forms.

  3. 03

    We re-measure and check

    The difference, proven in measurements.

    We re-measure and check page by page that nothing personal ends up in the cache.

Boutique studio

What it means to work with a boutique studio

Four things you notice in the day-to-day collaboration.

01

Few clients, time for each

Few clients, so every account gets the time it needs.

We do not take on every project. We work with a small number of clients, so that every account gets the time and attention it needs.

02

The same person, from the first conversation

The strategist from the first conversation is the one who manages your campaigns.

The senior strategist you talk to at the first meeting is the one who manages your campaigns. We do not hand you over to someone else once we start.

03

Involved in your business

We look at the whole path to the sale, not just at the ads.

We are glad about every new customer we bring you. That is why we do not stop at the ads: we also look at the offer, the website and the message, so that the whole path to the sale works.

04

Relationships that last

Some clients have worked with us for over 10 years.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about LiteSpeed

Direct answers to what people ask us before the first conversation.

1What exactly do you set up on my site?

We configure and tune LiteSpeed with two layers of caching: server-level caching, so pages are served ready-made instead of being rebuilt for every visitor, and object caching, which remembers database work so dynamic pages stay fast. We measure the speed before and after.

2How is it different from page speed optimisation?

LiteSpeed works at server level: it changes how the page is built and served. Speed optimisation deals with what the browser loads: images, scripts and styles. The two complement each other, and hosting and Cloudflare round out the system.

3Can caching break my cart or account pages?

Not if it’s tuned properly. We write the cache rules around the way your site works, so carts, logins and other personal pages are handled separately rather than served from a stale copy. A badly configured cache is worse than none, which is why we never stick with the defaults.

4What’s the first step, and what does it cost?

The first step is a free 30-minute conversation: we measure how the site copes cold and under load and tell you honestly whether a faster engine underneath would pay for itself. We agree the price afterwards, based on your goals.

Let's get acquainted

The first meeting is free and lasts 30 minutes: online, by phone or, if you are in Cluj, over a coffee. You tell us about your business, and we tell you honestly how we can help.

Prefer a message? You can reach us on WhatsApp, by email or by phone and we will reply directly.

No preparation and no follow-up pressure. If we are not a good fit, you leave with better questions to ask whoever comes next.
