Speed Test – Week 125 Summary Table

The fastest host this week is SiteGround with a time of 2.49s, 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 WP Fastest Cache setup in Week 122), the average load time for our 8 hosts was 3.29s. This week with Simple Cache now on board, the average load time is ever so slightly faster at 3.25s.

This is the third and final week of the Simple Cache Speed Study, and Simple Cache has narrowly outperformed WP Fastest Cache.

Next week I’ll be switching up our caching plugin to Cache Enabler. I am very keen to find out if Cache Enabler is able to continue to boost our sites speed more than Simple Cache?
