Cloudways handled the Static test without issue. It even was about 25% faster compared to last year which is nice to see. Cloudways' Uptime was 100% and 99.9944% which is excellent. The other test results didn't stand out, and they are maybe hindered a bit by not having a CDN by default like the competition at this price. Unfortunately, the Load Storm test was its Achilles heel again this year with a slow down starting around 1300 VUsers again. The server couldn't keep up with the requests and response times climbed to a point outside of recognition range again.
Cloudways had a flat Static test which is exactly what you want. Cloudways also managed perfect uptime. It was middle of the pack in the other tests. But the problem was the Load Storm test. Cloudways slowed down and became very spiky around 1200 users. It never errored but the p95 was 2351ms which indicates how much the service slowed down. The performance seems to have gone down a little compared to last year which used a similarly sized Vultr HF server. Cloudways showed last year they were capable of coming close to earning Top Tier status, I'd like to see them return.
It was not Cloudways' best performance. The Load Storm test started having issues early at 80 VUsers and started having errors towards the end. The Static test had some spikes due to CPU usage towards the end of the test. Uptime was perfect on one monitor and 99.9755% on another.
Cloudways handled the Static test perfectly, completely flat response time and no errors. Uptime was perfect as well. Cloudways, however, did struggle with the Load Storm test where it slowed down around 700 VUsers and response times shot up. There were relatively few errors, so the requests were still being served, just a lot slower than needed to earn recognition.
Cloudways handled the Static test flawlessly with no errors or signs of load and a quick 111ms average response time. Cloudways also had perfect uptime. Cloudways even picked up the fastest response time in Virginia on WPT. Unfortunately, the Load Storm test proved a little much with the server slowing down around 2300 users. This was a dramatic improvement over last year where issues started around 900 users and it errored out. It's nice to see a lot of improvement, but there's definitely a little more work left to be done.

Cloudways's static test was excellent with zero errors and a flat response time. It had perfect and 99.9991% uptime. The Load Storm test was a struggle again this year, Cloudways showed some signs of improvement over last year. Overall, it's trending the right direction and handling the test better. Unfortunately, it still needs to improve more to earn some recognition in these benchmarks.

Cloudways handled the Static test with ease. Cloudways ran into the same issue across every server this year where Hetrix Tools showed a short downtime but Uptime Robot did not. Unfortunately, the Load Storm test proved too much for the server.
Cloudways had the 4th fastest average response time on the static test. Cloudways had the fastest WPT test in two locations and were a mere 2ms behind 3rd place for fastest average. Cloudways also had the second fastest PHP bench. The uptime issue where Hetrix Tools couldn't connect to any Cloudways servers persisted across every plan while the Uptime Robot monitor showed them all online. Cloudways earned itself an Honorable Mention because the Load Storm test was extremely borderline. It showed some load spikes and they were averaging over 1000ms, but this was incredibly close. Overall, a great job, one of the closest to Top Tier performances I've had to evaluate.
Cloudways handled the Static test with ease. Cloudways had the same uptime monitoring issue with Hetrix Tools on every plan this year but Uptime Robot showed a perfect uptime. Unfortunately, Cloudways struggled with the Load Storm test which caused the server response times to go very high.
Cloudways had perfect uptime on one monitor while Hetrix Tools showed a much lower number across every plan for some reason. Cloudways had the second fastest PHP Bench. Cloudways also handled the Load Storm and Static tests without issue. Given the overall good performance, the only possible detraction is the uptime monitors which showed very different numbers, my third monitoring system broke so I don't have a tie breaker, I will err on the side of good faith. Cloudways put together a Top Tier performance that handled all the tests well.
Cloudways handled the static test without issue. Cloudways had great uptime on one monitor and lower than expected on the other. This seemed like it maybe was a bug and showed on every Cloudways monitor on the Hetrix Tools platform. Unfortunately, the Load Storm caused the server to error out and fail the test. I'm not sure what happened but I hope they figure it out and we see a comeback next year.
The one thing Cloudways did well this year was the static test. It handled it without issue. We could add in uptime if we assume it was a glitch on the monitoring end which affected all Cloudways servers being monitored by Hetrix Tools. But Cloudways struggled with the Load Storm test with the login erroring completely. There is some definite room for improvement.

Cloudways had a pretty good static test, a few bumps but nothing much to complain about there. Cloudways unfortunately struggled tremendously on the WooCommerce (Load Storm) test. I can't help but wonder if the low WP Bench score correlates with difficulty on the WooCommerce test. Would a faster CPU/DB help?

Cloudways had a pretty good run this year. 99.999% uptime. Cloudways had the second fastest average response time on the WPT results. The K6 test was smooth. The problem was Load Storm results held it back this year, while having no errors, the performance slowed down considerably with wp-login response times of 1226ms and average response time going over 1000ms for a while during the test. A little bit better on the Load Storm test and there would be awards being handed out.
Cloudways earned itself Top Tier recognition. Perfect uptime. Error free load testing on both Load Storm and K6 which had response times so flat you would want to ride on a boat on it. It wasn't the fastest product, but it handled these tests without blinking and error. A Top Tier performance for sure.

Zero errors on both load tests and no impact on response times, one of only two companies in this price tier that managed to pull off the perfect load tests. Congrats on earning Top Tier status.
Perfect uptime. Zero errors on load tests was nice. But the response times just increased too much to win any recognition.
Cloudways had perfect uptime at 100% on both monitors. The good news during the load tests were that they didn't have a single error. The bad news during the load tests was the response times increased substantially and the server slowed down under stress.
Cloudways had perfect uptime on both monitors which was good. The problem was the load tests caused the server to slow down and have high response times.
Overall a very good performance from Cloudways. Perfect uptime. Improved speeds from last years WPPerformanceTester results. Just a minor slow down during Load Impact kept them from earning Top Tier honors.
