<$25/Month Summary

ManagedWPHosting handled the Static test fine, it may have been the slowest in average and p95, but the graph was flatish and slightly speeding up as the test went on with an average of 162ms. They had excellent uptime at perfect and 99.9991%. ManagedWPHosting also picked up the second fastest PHP Bench and an A+ SSL grade. Unfortunately, the Load Storm test had a spike right as it reached 1000VUsers causing a slow down, which it recovered from. However, it caused too much of a slow down and errors to be considered for an award. I'm not sure what caused it because it handled 1000VUsers after recovering for a while, but the product looks about one spike away from award consideration.

<$25/Month Summary

ManagedWPHosting was a new entrant this year. The highlight was the K6 test going through flawlessly. However, there were some uptime issues because of maintenance primarily. There was also the Load Storm test which overwhelmed the server a bit caused slowdowns and errors. There's definitely room for improvement and I hope to see them come back and show it.

WooCommerce Summary

ManagedWPHosting was a new entrant this year to all the benchmarks. The WooCommerce tests were a bit tough this year on them. Some maintenance issues caused uptime to drop below 99.9%. The K6 test slowed as did the Load Storm test which also had some errors. I hope to see them come back next year and show off some major improvements.

Load Storm Average Response Time by Profile

This takes deeper look at the results and analyzes the performance of loading HTML mime types, to ignore a lot of static assets which are cached and bring down average response times. This tests how fast the initial pages are delivered, which is what a user would experience before loading all the other assets like css, javascript and images.
