Apache vs Nginx Speed Test. Which is Faster for Your Website?

Hi Tony, thanks for the video. Sorry if I've missed it but in this test were you serving only static pages? If so, wouldn't it have been better to serve dynamic content (perhaps data pulled from the MySQL database)? Thanks again

So would Apache or Nginx perform better on a WordPress website with lots of dynamic content if it had lots of simultaneous users?

You have a lot of videos. It seems like practically every time I search for something relating to working on my website, your videos pop up. Thanks man. Great Videos!

Straight to the point, I like it!

nginx is faster than apache x2.5

macs are big dumb

Tanks Tony

The main differences are Nginx can handle a more concurrent user; you should measure this.

whats this comparison? Of course Nginx is faster. Do you really need to test this?

since Nginx doesn’t support PHP I bet you are essentially testing php-fpm vs apache

To the point but slightly vague. Apache leverages per site config and dynamic module loading plus file system access while Nginx has to pre-loaded with modules. So if it's just a static HTML page you are serving, the test becomes pointless because it's not leveraging the best abilities provided by two.

for python apache is winner due to mod wsgi

Superb content, thanks!

No muss, no fuss. Like it!

So why is Nginx faster than Apache?

No theory drama, To the point. Thank you so much! You got my sub.

Include LiteSpeed servers in your next testing video!

Unless you are running a high traffic server, the speed difference between the two is irrelevant. The small differences here are not noticable by a human or affect other requests until you get into hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of requests per minute.
