Speed Test – Week 122 Summary Table
The fastest host this week is SiteGround with a time of 2.32s, which is not far off the all time Mumbai record of 2.22s, which was also set by SiteGround in Week 119.
On our last visit to Mumbai (with no caching plugins setup in Week 119), the average load time for our 8 hosts was 3.49s. This week with WP Fastest Cache now on board, the average load time is slightly faster at 3.29s.
This is the third and final week of the WP Fastest Cache Speed Study, and there was an understandable speed boost off the back of adding WP Fastest Cache.
Next week we’ll be switching up our caching plugin to Simple Cache. I am very keen to find out which caching plugin will deliver the best results?
And this Week’s Winner is…
