> WordPress famously used LiteSpeed (and still does)
I presume you mean WordPress.com here (WordPress = open source project, WordPress.com = product by co-founder of WordPress; it's confusing). They did run LiteSpeed a long time ago, but haven't in at least a decade; they moved to Nginx.
(There's a comment quoted at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6341947 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6341947 from Barry Abrahamson, who's the .com systems guy - sadly, Wired appears to have removed the original. I also checked with colleagues who were there at the time.)
