- Use Pingdom Uptime Test
- Location of Test: 10 Asia Pacific Locations
- Plugins Installed: Simple Cache
- 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 Test – Week 125 Summary Table
Our hosts have recorded a solid uptime performance this week, with 6 hosts achieving the ultimate goal of 100% Uptime (5 hosts achieved 100% in Week 124):
- GoDaddy
- Lightning Base
- Bluehost
- HostGator
- Web Hosting Hub
- SiteGround
This week’s best performer in Asia Pacific is GoDaddy, with a perfect uptime and the fastest average response time of 837ms.
The last time we tested from Asia Pacific (with WP Fastest Cache setup in Week 122), the average response time across our 8 hosts was 996ms, while this week with Simple Cache on board, it is slightly slower at 1,126ms.
This is the third and final week of our Simple Cache Speed Study and WP Fastest Cache has proved to be quicker than Simple Cache, when it comes to Response Times.
For the next week, I will change up our caching plugin to Cache Enabler. I wonder how it will go compared to WP Fastest Cache & Simple Cache?
And this Week’s Winner is…
