LiteSpeed + NVMe: Why Braysons Host Websites Load Fast in Kenya

People don't wait for slow websites. If your page takes too long on a phone, a potential customer taps back and calls your competitor instead. Speed isn't a luxury — it's sales.

That's why speed is built into every layer of Braysons Host.

The Braysons Host speed stack

LiteSpeed Web Server

Instead of the older Apache setup many hosts still use, our servers run LiteSpeed — a modern web server designed to serve more visitors, faster, with fewer resources. It's fully compatible with .htaccess, so your site works without changes, and it supports HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 for quicker loading on mobile networks.

NVMe SSD storage

Every plan stores your website on NVMe SSDs — the fastest class of storage available for servers, many times quicker than older SATA SSDs and far ahead of spinning hard drives. Database-heavy sites like WordPress and WooCommerce shops feel the difference most.

CloudLinux isolation

On shared hosting, a busy neighbour can slow everyone down. CloudLinux gives every account its own protected share of CPU and memory, so one site's traffic spike doesn't become your problem.

LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress

WordPress sites on Braysons Host can use the free LiteSpeed Cache plugin, which talks directly to our servers to deliver full-page caching, image optimisation and WebP conversion. Most sites become dramatically faster once it's set up — follow our LiteSpeed Cache guide.

Modern PHP

Choose PHP 8.2 or 8.3 in one click from cPanel — newer PHP versions run WordPress noticeably faster than old ones. How to change PHP version.

Speed you can keep

Fast hosting is the foundation, but what you put on it matters too. Our team and our Knowledge Base help you keep your site quick:

• Compress images before uploading — or let LiteSpeed Cache convert them to WebP.
• Use fewer, better plugins — every plugin adds code.
• Choose a lightweight theme such as Astra, GeneratePress or Kadence.
• Measure with Google PageSpeed Insights before and after changes.

If your site is still slow, WhatsApp us — we'll look at your account's resource usage and tell you exactly what's holding it back. Our slow-website checklist.
