Speed Test – Week 140 Summary Table
The fastest host this week is Bluehost with a time of 2.47s, which is not too far away from the all time record for Mumbai, which is 2.22s, set by SiteGround in Week 119.
On our last visit to Mumbai (with W3 Total Cache setup in Week 137), the average load time for our 8 hosts was 3.17s. This week with WP Rocket now on board, the average load time was noticeably faster at 2.89s.
This is the third and final week of the WP Rocket Speed Study, and the results have shown WP Rocket to be faster than W3 Total Cache.
This test brings to a close our Speed Studies for 2018. I’ll be reviewing all the results across the year, before deciding which path to take next year – see you in 2019!!
