How to remove the “X-Turbo-Charged-By” header

Removing the “X-Turbo-Charged-By” header from LiteSpeed Web Server’s HTTP response boosts security and privacy.

We can easily remove the header with these steps:

1. First, we have to connect to our server via SSH.
2. Then, it is time to locate the LiteSpeed Web Server’s main configuration file. It is usually called “httpd.conf” or “lsws.conf”.
3. Next, we have to open the configuration file and find the responseHeaders directive. It usually looks like this:

   responseHeaders 200|X-Powered-By:LiteSpeed

   responseHeaders 200
