Uptime Test – Week 160 Summary Table

Our hosts have recorded a solid uptime performance this week, with 4 hosts achieving the ultimate goal of 100% Uptime (only 3 hosts achieved 100% in Week 159):

WP Engine
Lightning Base
Kinsta
SiteGround

This week’s best performer in Asia Pacific is WP Engine, with a perfect uptime and the fastest average response time of 1,210ms.

We have now completed 20 weeks of testing with our 4 new premium hosts. The most interesting takeaway from this weeks results is how close all our hosts are when it comes to their respective response times. For all hosts to be between 1,210ms and 1,410ms is especially impressive for Lightning Base and SiteGround, as they are our budget hosts.

For next week’s test, I will change up the server location for all of our hosts from Canada to UK. I wonder which of our hosts will prove to be most reliable?
