Uptime Test – Week 145 Summary Table
Our hosts have recorded an impressive uptime performance this week, with 5 hosts achieving the ultimate goal of 100% Uptime (6 hosts achieved 100% in Week 144):
- WP Engine
- Kinsta
- Pressidium
- Lightning Base
- SiteGround
This week’s best performer in Asia Pacific is WP Engine, with a perfect uptime and the equal fastest average response time of 1,130ms.
We’re now into our 5th 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.
For next week’s test, I will change up our testing location to North America. I wonder whether our hosts can keep up this impressive uptime performance?
And this Week’s Winner is…
