the results. Nobody had huge issues.<\/p>\n<p>I looked at the aggregate change again for the locations which were similar. There were 8 companies last year in this price bracket and only five this year. Across the nine same locations used, there was a cumulative decrease in response time of 2.68 seconds. For instance, Dulles dropped from 1.10 to 0.42 seconds on average.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"WPPerformanceTester_Results\">WPPerformanceTester Results<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span id=\"Results_Table-5\">Results Table<\/span><\/h3>\n<table class=\"sortable\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<colgroup span=\"3\" width=\"107\"><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" height=\"21\"><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\">PHP Bench<\/td>\n<td align=\"left\">WP Bench<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" height=\"21\">Kinsta<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">8.974<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">1100.110011<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" height=\"21\">Liquid Web, Inc<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">10.326<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">1201.923077<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" height=\"21\">Nestify<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">13.358<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">122.4439819<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" height=\"21\">Nexcess.net<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">11.867<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">424.2681375<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" height=\"21\">Pressable<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">10.803<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">471.6981132<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><span id=\"Discussion-5\">Discussion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kinsta had the fastest PHP bench and Liquid Web had the fastest WP bench.<\/p>\n<p>The average PHP bench went from 10.75 to 11.07 from the 2016 benchmarks in this price tier. The average WP bench went from 702 to 664. The PHP and WP bench both dropped in this price tier.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to note is that WP bench scores can vary tremendously based on the database architecture. You'll often see faster scores on architectures running the database locally compared to ones that run separately or have redundancy built in.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/reviewsignal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2017-performance-benchmarks-toplist-101-200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2072\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Top_Tier\">Top Tier<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=166&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2018\">Kinsta<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=157&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2018\">Pressable<\/a> both earned Top Tier status this year for going through all the tests without any significant issues.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Honorable_Mention\">Honorable Mention<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>None.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Individual_Host_Analysis\">Individual Host Analysis<\/span><\/h3>\n<h4>Kinsta<\/h4>\n<p>Yet another Top Tier performance from <a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=166&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2018\">Kinsta<\/a>. Perfect uptime and near perfect load tests. It's starting to feel redundant writing that.<\/p>\n<h4>Liquid Web<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=2&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2018\">LiquidWeb<\/a> [<a href=\"https:\/\/reviewsignal.com\/webhosting\/company\/2\/liquidweb\">Reviews<\/a>] was at a huge disadvantage by keeping SSL enabled which substantially reduces performance in my experience. I offered to let them turn it off since no other competitors at this price tier were running it. They declined saying they do HTTPS on all the sites and would be tested as such. They kept perfect uptime but struggled with the load tests which SSL would play a a part. I'm sad to see them lose their Top Tier status they earned last year but I really respect their decision to keep SSL on knowing it wouldn't look as good on these tests because all clients get SSL.<\/p>\n<h4>Nestify<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=202&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2018\">Nestify<\/a> continues to be hampered by the 100 Mbps limit which hurt their Load Impact results. Their uptime was good. Load Storm left room to be desired.<\/p>\n<h4>Nexcess<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=170&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2018\">Nexcess<\/a> kept good uptime but the load tests again caused issues. I know they were working on lots of upgrades to deploy customer wide based on these results and look forward to seeing the results of the improvements next year. I don't think any company has been as open and transparent about discussing their infrastructure and less than stellar results. I have a lot of respect for that type of openness.<\/p>\n<h4>Pressable<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=157&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2018\">Pressable<\/a> continued to have the weird Tokyo datacenter quirk for Load Storm. But beyond that the performance was near perfect. Another Top Tier performance.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 20px; display: inline-block;\">\n<h4 style=\"margin-left: 100px;\">Other Price Tier Results<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/under-25-month-wordpress-hosting-performance-benchmarks-2018\/\" class=\"btn btn-success\" style=\"margin: 5px 5px 0 0; width: 300px; text-align: center;\">&lt;$25\/Month Tier<\/a><a href=\"\/blog\/25-50-month-wordpress-hosting-performance-benchmarks-2018\/\" class=\"btn btn-success\" style=\"margin: 5px 5px 0 0; width: 300px; text-align: center;\">$25-50\/Month Tier<\/a><a href=\"\/blog\/51-100-month-wordpress-hosting-performance-benchmarks-2018\/\" class=\"btn btn-success\" style=\"margin: 5px 5px 0 0; width: 300px; text-align: center;\">$51-100\/Month Tier<\/a><a href=\"\/blog\/101-200-month-wordpress-hosting-performance-benchmarks-2018\/\" class=\"btn btn-warning\" style=\"margin: 5px 5px 0 0; width: 300px; text-align: center;\">$101-200\/Month Tier<\/a><a href=\"\/blog\/201-500-month-wordpress-hosting-performance-benchmarks-2018\/\" class=\"btn btn-success\" style=\"margin: 5px 5px 0 0; width: 300px; text-align: center;\">$201-500\/Month Tier<\/a><a href=\"\/blog\/enterprise-wordpress-hosting-performance-benchmarks-2018\/\" class=\"btn btn-success\" style=\"margin: 5px 5px 0 0; width: 300px; text-align: center;\">$500+\/Month (Enterprise) Tier<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The full company list, product list, methodology, and notes can be found here.
