Speed Test – Week 124 Summary Table
The fastest host this week is InMotion Hosting with a time of 2.02s, which sets the all time São Paulo record (the previous record was 2.12s set by SiteGround in Week 118).
On our last visit to São Paulo (with WP Fastest Cache setup in Week 121), the average load time for our 8 hosts was 3.23s. This week with Simple Cache now on board, the average load time is significantly faster at 2.33s.
This is the second week of the Simple Cache Speed Study, and its looking as though Simple Cache is currently outperforming WP Fastest Cache.
Next week we’ll be switching up our test location to Mumbai. I am very keen to find out if Simple Cache is able to continue to boost our sites speed more than WP Fastest Cache?
