But both load tests started to show signs of load with increased response times going into the multiple second range with a classic increased response time as load increases. I should also note this plan cost $70 when the testing occurred but Digital Ocean has reduced their pricing and this plan now costs $42.<\/p>\n<h4>Kinsta<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=166&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2018\">Kinsta<\/a> had 1 error between both load tests and 100% uptime.
