  1. GoDaddy
  2. Lightning Base
  3. SiteGround
  4. HostGator

This week’s best performer in Asia Pacific is GoDaddy, with a perfect uptime and the fastest average response time of 684ms.

The last time we tested from Asia Pacific with Cloudflare & WP Super Cache setup (in Week 68), the average response time across our 8 hosts was 1,625ms, while this week with Cloudflare & W3 Total Cache it is significantly faster at 783ms.

This is the third and final week of our Cloudflare & W3 Total Cache Speed Study and W3 Total Cache has blown away WP Super Cache when it comes to response times.

Next week we will add a CDN into the mix to see how that will impact the speed of our sites?
