Speed Test – Week 144 Summary Table
The fastest host this week in Vancouver is Flywheel with a time of 1.07s.
It’s early days with our 4 new premium hosts, but it is interesting to see Kinsta fall off in Canada, after being a fastest host the last 3 weeks. The other 3 premium hosts continued the general trend that they are able to outperform our best 2 budget hosts in Lightning Base & SiteGround.
For next week’s test, I will change up our testing location to Sydney. I wonder whether Kinsta will recover in Australia or are we going to find that certain hosts are specialists in certain countries?
And this Week’s Winner is…
