Speed Test – Week 115 Summary Table
The fastest host this week is Bluehost with a time of 1.65s, which is a fair way off the all time London record of 0.87s, which was set by HostGator in Week 64.
On our last visit to London (with Comet Cache on board in Week 112), the average load time for our 8 hosts was 1.85s. This week with WP Fastest Cache, the average load time was slightly slower at 2.08s.
This is the second week of the WP Fastest Cache Speed Study, and while there has been a promising rebound following WP Fastest Cache’s poor results from last week, Comet Cache is still coming out on top so far.
Next week we’ll switch up our testing location to Sydney. This is the last chance for WP Fastest Cache to outperform Comet Cache, I wonder whether it’s possible?
And this Week’s Winner is…
