Uptime Test – Week 151 Summary Table
Our hosts have recorded an impressive uptime performance this week, with 5 hosts achieving the ultimate goal of 100% Uptime (4 hosts achieved 100% in Week 150):
- Flywheel
- Pressidium
- WP Engine
- Kinsta
- Lightning Base
This week’s best performer in North America is Flywheel, with a perfect uptime and the fastest average response time of 294ms.
We have now completed 11 weeks of testing with our 4 new premium hosts. With the exception of an extremely poor week for Lightning Base in Week 143, all of our hosts have performed well. And with this being our first test from each hosts Canadian server (where available), Flywheel has taken the early lead in Canada.
For next week’s test, I will be changing up our test location to Europe. Can Flywheel continue to perform best?
And this Week’s Winner is…
