Seravo
Company Profile & Results
Seravo was founded in 2011, focusing on the upkeep of Linux server systems in Tampere, Finland’s second-largest city, a town known for its long industrial history and modern innovations in information technology. After a while, it became clear that most customers had a common need: they needed assistance with websites built on WordPress. Our Premium Hosting and Upkeep service for WordPress has been our main product since 2014 and, through continuous improvements, managed to establish ourselves as market leaders on the Finnish market. For a couple of years, our growth has continued outside of Finland. We now have data centers all over the world, together with a growing number of customers and employees primarily from Europe.

2026 WordPress Results
Enterprise ($500+/Month) Summary
Seravo's uptime was fine and the PHP Bench was the third fastest. SSL was A+. Unfortunately the LoadStorm test ran into issues we couldn't resolve before the testing window closed — 2.2M errors against 5.79M requests. The Static test averaged 134ms with zero errors though, so the issues were specific to LoadStorm rather than the underlying static performance. Seravo doesn't earn recognition this year but the underlying hardware looks capable from the bench scores — hopefully next year goes smoother.
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.

2026 WooCommerce Results
WooCommerce Summary
Seravo started having trouble around 700 VUsers on the LoadStorm test and finished with 1.55M errors against 12M requests. The Static test averaged 211ms. The per-persona Woo test had Seravo slowest on Browser (289ms) and Homepage (273ms), and second slowest on the other three profiles. SSL was A+ but the rest of the testing didn't go well enough for recognition this year.

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.
