Top Tier. Three Tiers. One Independent Benchmark.

Two things that directly affect your business. First, faster page loads. Not just in one country but worldwide. Your visitors in the US, UK, Europe and Asia all get fast pages. Google rewards this with better search rankings. Your visitors reward it by staying longer and buying more. Second, best-in-class uncached performance. This matters if you run anything dynamic like WooCommerce, membership sites, booking systems, quizzes or LMS platforms. These pages can’t be cached because every visitor sees something different. Most hosts fall apart here. Our hardware and tuning mean your dynamic pages load fast too, not just your static homepage.

It takes real confidence to enter an independent benchmark. You put years of work into building your brand and a poor result can damage it publicly. Every host that entered knew the tests are identical, the conditions are fair, and the results are public. Some well-known hosts chose not to participate. Some cheap, some expensive, some spending fortunes on influencer marketing. They know that the resources they allocate per plan wouldn’t survive an independent stress test. Entering would expose that publicly. So they don’t. Some participated in 2023 and marketed themselves as the world’s fastest was shown to be fast but not the fastest. They haven’t entered since. We enter every time because we’d rather be tested than trusted on our word alone.

Kevin Ohashi of Review Signal has been running independent WordPress hosting benchmarks for over a decade. Every host gets the same test conditions. Same WordPress install, same test pages, same load patterns, same global test locations. No host gets special treatment. There are no sponsorships, no affiliate commissions, no pay-to-win. You sign up, your servers get hammered, and the data speaks. It’s the closest thing WordPress hosting has to a level playing field.

No. And we think you should know that. We dominated most benchmarks including full page load times worldwide, PHP compute speed, and performance under load. But on average response time we came fourth, behind three other hosts, by about 2-3 milliseconds. Our average response time was between 6.9 and 8.7ms which was still faster than 95% of the hosts tested. We could quietly ignore that and only talk about our wins. We’d rather be straight with you. Where it matters most for your visitors, full page load speed, we outperformed everyone.

Cached performance is how fast your site loads when the page is already stored and ready to serve. Most speed tests measure this. It’s important but it only tells half the story. Uncached performance is how fast your server generates a page from scratch. This is what your WooCommerce cart pages, search results, logged-in dashboards and dynamic content rely on. You can’t cache a page that’s different for every visitor. Hosts with weak hardware or bloated stacks struggle here even if their cached speeds look good. Our 5.7 GHz processors and tuned stack mean both cached and uncached pages load fast. That’s the difference you feel when you switch.

Benchmarks test standardised WordPress installs under controlled conditions. Your site has plugins, themes, custom code and real-world complexity. So will your numbers be identical? No. Will they be significantly faster than what you’re getting now? If you’re on a mainstream host, almost certainly yes. The hardware, stack and tuning that produced these benchmark results are the same infrastructure your site runs on. Every customer gets the same 5.7 GHz processors, the same coherent stack, the same tuning. That’s the whole point. Try us for 30 days. If your site isn’t faster, we’ll refund you and buy you a coffee.
