Uptime Test – Week 15 Summary Table

Our hosts have recorded an impressive uptime performance, with 6 hosts achieving the ultimate goal of 100% Uptime:

  1. A2 Hosting
  2. GoDaddy
  3. Bluehost
  4. Web Hosting Hub
  5. SiteGround

A2 Hosting takes the win this week in Asia Pacific, being the fastest of those with 100% Uptime!

There is once again a big improvement in the Ave Response Times for our 6 hosts that now have Caching enabled. It is really clear in the charts to see the cliff drop off on the 9th Jul when W3 Total Cache was setup. Last time we stopped by Asia Pacific, the average response time of our 8 hosts was 1052ms, while this week it has dropped to 659ms. It’s great to see all of our hosts starting to perform really well!

SiteGround continues to regularly rack up perfect 100% Uptime’s – having now reached this summit 14 of the 15 weeks!!
