Redis, Nginx, LiteSpeed: The Stack We Use for Speed

Speed isn’t just a nice-to-have for eCommerce businesses—it’s a revenue-critical necessity. Every second of delay can cost you conversions, customer trust, and search engine visibility. At Informatix Systems, we’ve spent years refining the ideal stack to deliver performance, scalability, and resilience. Our secret sauce? The powerful trio of Redis, Nginx, and LiteSpeed.

Why Speed Matters in eCommerce

Before diving into the stack, let’s set the stage. According to industry data:

• A 1-second delay in page load can result in a 7% drop in conversions

• 53% of mobile users will abandon a site that takes more than 3 seconds to load

• Faster websites rank higher on Google

For our clients, improving site speed has consistently translated into increased revenue, improved SEO, and better customer retention.

Redis: Lightning-Fast Caching and Real-Time Data Access

Redis is an in-memory key-value store we use to cache frequently accessed data—such as product listings, user sessions, and cart information. By drastically reducing database queries, Redis:

• Accelerates page load times

• Handles high traffic with ease

• Supports real-time features like stock updates or pricing changes

In short, Redis ensures that your eCommerce platform runs fast—even during peak shopping events.

Nginx: High-Performance Load Balancing and Web Serving

Nginx serves as the powerful front-line worker in our stack. It’s a high-performance web server and reverse proxy that efficiently manages thousands of concurrent users without breaking a sweat. With Nginx, we offer:

• Smart load balancing to ensure uptime

• Secure, scalable handling of HTTP requests

• SSL termination and DDoS mitigation

Combined with Redis, Nginx forms a robust foundation for delivering blazing-fast and reliable user experiences.

LiteSpeed: The Ultimate Web Server for eCommerce

While Nginx is ideal for certain functions, we deploy LiteSpeed Web Server for its unmatched performance with PHP-based platforms like Magento, WooCommerce, and PrestaShop. LiteSpeed offers:

• Built-in page caching (LSCache) for rapid delivery of dynamic content

• Superior performance under high load compared to Apache or Nginx alone

• HTTP/3 support, boosting site performance on modern browsers

LiteSpeed is especially effective for eCommerce platforms that rely on dynamic content and complex PHP applications.

The Result: Performance That Drives Profit

When combined, Redis, Nginx, and LiteSpeed deliver a tech stack that’s:

• Optimized for eCommerce

• Capable of handling traffic surges without downtime

• Scalable to support long-term business growth

Clients who adopt this stack with Informatix Systems report significant improvements in load times, bounce rates, and conversion metrics—often within just weeks of implementation.
