Speed Test – Week 127 Summary Table

The fastest host this week is Bluehost with a time of 2.07s, which is very close to the all time São Paulo record of 2.02s, which was set by InMotion Hosting in Week 124.

On our last visit to São Paulo (with Simple Cache setup in Week 124), the average load time for our 8 hosts was 2.33s. This week with Cache Enabler now on board, the average load time was exactly the same at 2.33s.

This is the second week of the Cache Enabler Speed Study, and this battle continues to be ridiculously close between Simple Cache & Cache Enabler.

Next week I’ll be switching up our test location to Mumbai. I am very keen to find out which caching plugin will prove to be the fastest?
