Uptime Test – Week 147 Summary Table
Our hosts have recorded an impressive uptime performance this week, with 5 hosts achieving the ultimate goal of 100% Uptime (5 hosts also achieved 100% in Week 146):
- Pressidium
- Flywheel
- Lightning Base
- Kinsta
- SiteGround
This week’s best performer in Europe is Pressidium, with a perfect uptime and the fastest average response time of 646ms.
We have now ticked over 7 weeks of testing that’s included our 4 new premium hosts. Just like last week, the addition of WP Rocket has definitely evened the playing field for our budget hosts Lightning Base & SiteGround when it comes to response times.
And the uptime performance continues to impress across the board.
For next week’s test, I will change up our testing location to Asia Pacific. Will our budget hosts continue to match it with the premium hosts?
And this Week’s Winner is…
