Not only can an overloaded server lead to poor user experience, it can also cause a major hit to a site&#8217;s search engine ranking. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve decided to take some time to share some of our favorite cPanel apps and plugins that will not only mitigate the load on your servers, but also work to ensure visitors to your hosted sites are getting the best experience possible.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><b>CloudFlare<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-26152\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/logo-guideline-illustrations_background-photo1.png\" alt=\"logo-guideline-illustrations_background-photo\" width=\"239\" height=\"164\" \/><br \/>\nThrough the nifty use of cloud technology, this application allows hosting providers to deliver increased performance for the websites they host while also bolstering the overall security of their domains. CloudFlare&#8217;s service, which can be compared to digital gated community, allows a site\u2019s static content to be cached and stored amongst their 23 global data centers. By creating these global proxies, it greatly reduces the chance of downtime and ensures that visitors access data from the region that will deliver content most swiftly. In addition, CloudFlare tracks and monitors malicious traffic on their network to create an organic blacklist that limits the potential for attacks and bad traffic for every customer using their service.<br \/>\n<em><a title=\"CloudFlare cPanel\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out CloudFlare&gt;<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><b>LiteSpeed<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/bLOGLITESPEED1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-26192 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/bLOGLITESPEED1.png\" alt=\"bLOGLITESPEED\" width=\"232\" height=\"158\" \/><\/a>LiteSpeed Web Server is a high-performance Apache drop-in replacement that streamlines the way data is retrieved and delivered between the server and client. LiteSpeed lowers server load through a method called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.litespeedtech.com\/products\/litespeed-web-server\/features\/event-driven-architecture\">event-driven architecture<\/a>. Traditionally, when users access a web page, the server creates a unique process that delivers data directly to their client. As traffic increases, however, the server must continue creating individual processes, a method that exhausts additional memory. LiteSpeed turns these requests into cataloged events and acts as a middle man, handling all traffic through a single channel using\u00a0a minimal amount of processes.<\/p>\n<p><em><a title=\"LiteSpeed cPanel\" href=\"http:\/\/www.litespeedtech.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out LiteSpeed&gt;<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><b>Varnish<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Blogunix1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-26182 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Blogunix1.png\" alt=\"Blogunix\" width=\"232\" height=\"158\" \/><\/a>Varnish is yet another amazing plugin that positions itself as a liaison between the client and server.
