Now that our new premium hosts are all fired up for 2019, lets find who’s most reliable this week in Asia Pacific?
Uptime Test – Week 143 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 Asia Pacific 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 downtime might occur is scheduled maintenance of the server the website is hosted on

Uptime Test – Week 143 Summary Table
Our hosts have recorded a poor uptime performance this week, with just 3 hosts achieving the ultimate goal of 100% Uptime (5 hosts achieved 100% in Week 142):
- Kinsta
- WP Engine
- Pressidium
This week’s best performer in Asia Pacific is Kinsta, with a perfect uptime and the fastest average response time of 1,170ms.
We’re now into our 3rd week of testing that’s included our 4 new premium hosts. Once again we’re able to observe that they have considerably faster response times than our previous best 2 performers in Lightning Base & SiteGround.
The big concern this week is the horrendous 2 hours of downtime from Lightning Base. To put this into perspective, I have been testing Lightning Base for almost 2 years, and their total downtime over this time was only 65 minutes. Let’s hope this is just a one off poor performance.
For next week’s test, I will change up our testing location to North America. I wonder whether Lightning Base will be able to turn things around?
And this Week’s Winner is…
