Lighttpd
Secure, fast, compliant, and very flexible web server that has been optimized for high-performance environments.
Lighttpd is a web server designed for high‑performance environments, emphasizing low memory and CPU consumption compared with other widely used servers. It implements a range of features such as FastCGI, CGI, authentication mechanisms, output compression, and URL rewriting, allowing it to serve both small and large systems while remaining flexible in configuration.
The server’s architecture focuses on efficient resource use, making it suitable for deployments where hardware constraints are a concern. Its feature set includes support for request trailers with configurable whitelists and various security‑related options, and it is built to comply with relevant web standards.
Lighttpd is released under the revised BSD‑3‑Clause license, is self‑hostable, and does not require a subscription or tiered pricing. The project is maintained as a stable, open‑source codebase with documentation, a wiki, and a community forum for support.
