LoadStorm
Load Storm is designed to simulate real users visiting the site, logging in and browsing. It tests uncached performance.
K6
K6 is designed to test cached performance by repeatedly requesting the homepage.
GTmetrix
GTmetrix loads the homepage and records how long it takes from 12 different locations around the world. (We switched from WebPageTest to GTmetrix in 2026.)
Uptime
Uptime is monitored by three sources: HetrixTools and StatusCake as third-party services, plus a self-hosted UptimeKuma instance for cross-reference in case of major discrepancy between the third-party monitors.
WPPerformanceTester
WPPerformanceTester performs two benchmarks. One is a WordPress (WP Bench) and the other a PHP benchmark. WP Bench measures how many WP queries per second and higher tends to be better (varies considerably by architecture). PHP Bench performs a lot of computational and some database operations which are measured in seconds to complete. Lower PHP Bench is better. WP Bench is red in the chart, PHP Bench is blue.
WPBenchmark
WPBenchmark is a hosting performance benchmark that produces a single composite score per server. Higher is better.
| Company | WPBenchmark Score |
