Uptime Test – Week 140 Summary Table
Our hosts have recorded a solid uptime performance this week, with 5 hosts achieving the ultimate goal of 100% Uptime (6 hosts achieved 100% in Week 139):
- GoDaddy
- HostGator
- Lightning Base
- Namecheap
- Bluehost
This week’s best performer in Asia Pacific is GoDaddy, with a perfect uptime and the 2nd fastest average response time of 572ms.
The last time we tested from Asia Pacific (with W3 Total Cache setup in Week 137), the average response time across our 8 hosts was 698ms, while this week with WP Rocket on board, it is exactly the same at 698ms.
This is the third and final week of our WP Rocket Speed Study and after a roller coaster ride of performances, WP Rocket proved to be slightly faster than W3 Total Cache, when it comes to Response Times.
That ends our Speed Studies for 2018, I will review all the performances across the year before deciding how best to approach the 2019 Speed Studies. I hope you all have a wonderful Xmas & New Years!!
And this Week’s Winner is…
