Uptime Test – Week 62 Summary Table

Our hosts have recorded a disappointing uptime performance this week, with just 2 hosts achieving the ultimate goal of 100% Uptime (7 hosts achieved 100% in Week 61):

  1. GoDaddy
  2. Lightning Base

This week’s best performer in Asia Pacific is GoDaddy, with a perfect uptime and the fastest average response time of 670ms.

Checking in on the overall performance of changing from W3 Total Cache to WP Rocket, the average response time across our 8 hosts in Week 59 (the last time we tested from Asia Pacific) was 1,056ms, while this week with WP Rocket it is slightly slower at 1,079ms.

This is the third and final week of our WP Rocket Speed Study and it looks like both plugins are very close when it comes to response times.

Next week we are going to add CloudFlare and see how much that helps our sites?
