With MaxCDN paired with Cloudflare & WP Rocket, which of our hosts are most reliable this week in Asia Pacific?
Uptime Test – Week 83 Method
- Compare 8 WordPress Hosts
- Use 8 Live Sites, each with a Different Host but with Identical Content (you can check them out here)
- Use Pingdom Uptime Test
- Location of Test: 10 Asia Pacific Locations
- Frequency of Testing: Every Minute across the Last 7 Days
- Number of Weekly Tests = 1 x60 x24 x7 x8 = 80,640 (xMinutes xHours xDays xSites)
- Uptime testing is confirming that the website is actually accessible to visitors
- An example of why an outage (or downtime) can occur is scheduled maintenance of the server the website is hosted on

Uptime Test – Week 83 Summary Table
Our hosts have recorded a solid uptime performance this week, with 5 hosts achieving the ultimate goal of 100% Uptime (7 hosts achieved 100% in Week 82):
- InMotion Hosting
- HostGator
- Bluehost
- Lightning Base
- GoDaddy
This week’s best performer in Asia Pacific is InMotion Hosting, with a perfect uptime and the fastest average response time of 718ms.
The last time we tested from Asia Pacific with KeyCDN, Cloudflare & WP Rocket setup (in Week 80), the average response time across our 8 hosts was 774ms, while this week with MaxCDN replacing KeyCDN, it is slightly slower at 829ms.
This is the third and final week of our MaxCDN, Cloudflare & WP Rocket Speed Study and KeyCDN has slightly edged MaxCDN, when it comes to our host’s response times.
Next week we will change up our caching solution to WP Super Cache, I wonder whether MaxCDN will perform better in this combination?
And this Week’s Winner is…
