A few years ago, I was trying to get my website faster than average and gave OpenLiteSpeed a chance and with its caching system, it turned out to be the best choice. It does run on WordPress and I also chose the most minimal theme I could find and built it with inspiration from the old Medium.com (no sidebar) with a central focal content point and Craigslist (black text, white background).<p>When I first started... it was just a blog for people to come and complain about their bosses, co-workers, jobs, life... and I would even interview them and write their stories for them, but has since evolved into much more than that... with unique content about jobs, careers, and the workplace, and everything in between. I was never short of any stories myself, having worked for tyrant bosses and supervisors... its probably how I was able to keep my jobs for so long... instead of having an outburst at work, I'd come home and turn it into a story and publish it on my website.<p>And as it turns out... too many people could relate to my stories which is what kept attracting more and more visitors to the site, which is receiving around 2 million visits a month or a few thousand unique visitors per day. Been running it for over a decade now. Every time I was about ready to give it up and quit... I'd get emails of people praising the website and sending me their articles and stories to add to it, and the emails have never stopped. And I am not complaining. It keeps me going! I created it to stay connected to my passion: organizational-industrial social pyschology or human psychology in the workplace.<p>GTMetrix seems to like it...
