Desktop Speed Test – Week 8 Summary Table
India has served up an unbelievably close contest for 1st place, with A2 Hosting & GoDaddy at it again. With a margin of just 0.01s, A2 Hosting has won the Desktop Speed Test once again, making it a remarkable 5 wins in a row – Congratulations A2 Hosting!!
While GoDaddy just missed out on 1st, it was still a great week, with an improvement from 4th last week to 2nd this week. The other major changes in rankings were InMotion Hosting falling from 2nd to 5th and Bluehost falling from 5th to 8th place.
