Speed Test – Week 123 Summary Table
The fastest host this week is InMotion Hosting with a time of 0.88s, which is not far off the all time Vancouver record of 0.76s, which was set by Web Hosting Hub in Week 28.
On our last visit to Vancouver (with WP Fastest Cache setup in Week 120), the average load time for our 8 hosts was 1.61s. This week with Simple Cache now on board, the average load time is slightly faster at 1.17s.
This is the first week of the Simple Cache Speed Study, and the early signs are Simple Cache is outperforming WP Fastest Cache.
Next week we’ll be switching up our test location to São Paulo. I am very keen to find out if Simple Cache is able to continue to boost our sites speed more than WP Fastest Cache?
And this Week’s Winner is…
