With WP Rocket locked and loaded, lets find out which host is taking off this week in Latin America?
Uptime Test – Week 139 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 Latin American Locations
- Plugins Installed: WP Rocket
- 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

Uptime Test – Week 139 Summary Table
Our hosts have recorded an impressive uptime performance this week, with 6 hosts achieving the ultimate goal of 100% Uptime (5 hosts achieved 100% in Week 138):
- Lightning Base
- HostGator
- Bluehost
- GoDaddy
- SiteGround
- Namecheap
This week’s best performer in Latin America is Lightning Base, with a perfect uptime and the fastest average response time of 508ms.
The last time we tested from Latin America (with W3 Total Cache setup in Week 136), the average response time across our 8 hosts was 963ms, while this week with WP Rocket on board, it is noticeably faster at 619ms.
This is the second week of our WP Rocket Speed Study and after slightly favoring W3 Total Cache last week, WP Rocket has significantly taken control this week, when it comes to Response Times.
For the next week, I will change up our testing location to Asia Pacific. I wonder whether WP Rocket will continue this impressive turnaround?
And this Week’s Winner is…
