The second fastest score last year on PHP Bench was 9.388 and the slowest this year was 7.649, nearly a two second improvement. Some of this could be because there are a different mix of companies but three of them are the same. Servebolt got faster by ~500ms and ~500 queries per second. Pressable improved by 4000ms and 900 queries per second. Cloudways improved by 1900ms and 260 queries per second.

A perfect looking Load Storm test with zero errors and flat response times. The only issue was Load Impact slowed down starting around 2300 users and kept climbing upwards to around 1.5s average response time. Very borderline on earning an Honorable Mention, just a bit better next year will earn some them recognition.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=157&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2020\">Pressable<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Pressable had perfect uptime and Load Impact test. In fact, they had the fastest peak average response time of any company in this price tier. The only issue was Load Storm caused some increased response times with it slowly climbing to over 1300ms at points. It was borderline on the honorable mention, but the response times went a bit too high. A little better and Pressable would be earning honors at this tier.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=213&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2020\">Raidboxes<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>One of the standout new entrants this year earned Top Tier status right off the bat. 99.999% uptime and up. Zero errors on both load tests. Hard to ask for a better performance, but they also had the fastest PHP bench score of a company not named Servebolt across any price tier. Well done Raidboxes and congrats on the Top Tier marks.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=208&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2020\">Servebolt<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Speed, speed, speed.
