Uptime Test – Week 80 Summary Table

Our hosts have recorded an impressive uptime performance this week, with 6 hosts achieving the ultimate goal of 100% Uptime (all 8 hosts achieved 100% in Week 79):

  1. HostGator
  2. Bluehost
  3. Lightning Base
  4. GoDaddy
  5. Namecheap
  6. SiteGround

This week’s best performer in Asia Pacific is HostGator, with a perfect uptime and the fastest average response time of 644ms.

The last time we tested from Asia Pacific with KeyCDN, Cloudflare & WP Super Cache setup (in Week 77), the average response time across our 8 hosts was 1,870ms, while this week with WP Rocket replacing WP Super Cache, it is significantly faster at 774ms.

This is the third and final week of our KeyCDN, Cloudflare & WP Rocket Speed Study and WP Rocket has significantly improved our host’s response times.

Next week we will change up our CDN solution, I wonder whether it will help speed up our hosts even further?
