Speed Test – Week 134 Summary Table
The fastest host this week is SiteGround with a time of 2.40s, 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 Comet Cache setup in Week 131), the average load time for our 8 hosts was 3.08s. This week with WP Super Cache now on board, the average load time was ever so slightly slower at 3.09s.
This is the third and final week of the WP Super Cache Speed Study, and this battle between Comet Cache & WP Super Cache has been very close, with WP Super Cache proving to be ever so slightly faster across the 3 weeks.
Next week I’ll be switching up our caching plugin to W3 Total Cache. I am very keen to find out which caching solution will prove to be the fastest?
And this Week’s Winner is…
