Uptime Test – Week 153 Summary Table
Our hosts have recorded a perfect uptime performance this week, with all 6 hosts achieving the ultimate goal of 100% Uptime (5 hosts achieved 100% in Week 152):
- WP Engine
- Lightning Base
- Kinsta
- Flywheel
- Pressidium
- SiteGround
This week’s best performer in Asia Pacific is WP Engine, with a perfect uptime and the fastest average response time of 1,190ms.
We have now completed 13 weeks of testing with our 4 new premium hosts. The best news this week is Kinsta has recovered from their massive block of outages totaling 3hrs 43mins last week.
The other interesting observation is how closely bunched 5 of our hosts, with Response Times all between 1,190ms and 1,340ms. SiteGround was a fair bit of the pace this week.
For next week’s test, I will be changing up our test location to North America. Will Kinsta continue its recovery, and can SiteGround get back to competing?
And this Week’s Winner is…
