With our new WordPress Hosts all setup for 2019, lets find out which host proves to be most reliable this week in North America?
Uptime Test – Week 141 Method
- Compare 6 WordPress Hosts
- Use 6 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 North American Locations
- Plugins Installed: None
- Frequency of Testing: Every Minute across the Last 7 Days
- Number of Weekly Tests = 1 x60 x24 x7 x6 = 60,480 (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 141 Summary Table
Our hosts have recorded an impressive uptime performance this week, with 5 hosts achieving the ultimate goal of 100% Uptime:
- WP Engine
- Kinsta
- Flywheel
- Pressidium
- Lightning Base
This week’s best performer in North America is WP Engine, with a perfect uptime and the fastest average response time of 266ms.
With this being our first test with our 4 new premium hosts, it is interesting to see all of them achieve 100% uptime, plus considerably faster response times than our previous best 2 performers in Lightning Base & SiteGround.
For next week’s test, I will change up our testing location to Europe. I wonder whether this impressive start to our new hosts will continue?
And this Week’s Winner is…
