With Comet Cache fired up, which host is most reliable this week in Europe?
Uptime Test – Week 112 Method
- Compare 8 WordPress Hosts
- Use 8 Live Sites, each with a Different Host but with Identical Content (you can check them out here)
- Use Pingdom Uptime Test
- Location of Test: 10 European Locations
- Frequency of Testing: Every Minute across the Last 7 Days
- Number of Weekly Tests = 1 x60 x24 x7 x8 = 80,640 (xMinutes xHours xDays xSites)
- Uptime testing is confirming that the website is actually accessible to visitors
- An example of why an outage (or downtime) can occur is scheduled maintenance of the server the website is hosted on

This week’s best performer in Europe is Lightning Base, with a perfect uptime and the fastest average response time of 326ms.

This is the second week of our Comet Cache Speed Study and so far, Comet Cache is comfortably outperforming Hyper Cache when it comes to Response Times.
