Perfect uptime and the second fastest Load Storm average response time combined with a miniscule 3 total errors on both load tests say GridPane is here to perform. The only improvement I would like to see is better scores on WebPageTest where outside of US\/Europe it wasn't as fast as some of the competition. Overall, happy to see GridPane show us that another Top Tier Enterprise performer is here.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=216&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2020\">Jelastic<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Jelastic competed in many tiers and I was excited to see them figure out a way to balance their slightly different billing scheme to fit into these tests. Their platform scaled all the way up to the Enterprise tier, showing that it can handle tremendous loads without struggling. It earned Top Tier recognition in yet another tier, well done.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=116&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2020\">Pantheon<\/a>\u00a0[<a href=\"https:\/\/reviewsignal.com\/webhosting\/company\/116\/pantheon\">Reviews<\/a>]<\/h4>\n<p>Pantheon had perfect uptime and the third fastest Load Impact peak average response time. There isn't much to say other than they earned a Top Tier performance and had a nice improvement in the Load Storm test compared to last year with fewer errors and half the average response time.<\/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 only 5 total errors on both load tests. I'd like to see faster response times globally but it was a Top Tier performance for sure.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=162&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2020\">Presslabs<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>This small company has participated many years and continues to impress with yet another Top Tier performance. Perfect uptime. 1 error total on the load tests was the lowest total of any company. The third fastest average response time on WebPageTest. Well done Presslabs.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=218&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2020\">Seravo<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>The third new Enterprise Tier entrant didn't disappoint. Seravo was neck and neck with Flywheel for the fastest average response time globally on WebPageTest. They had a total of 6 errors on excellent load tests. Welcome to the Top Tier Seravo.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=208&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2020\">Servebolt<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Servebolt continued it's dominance in the WPPerformanceTester results into the Enterprise Tier being the fastest by a solid margin again on both PHP and WP Bench. They also managed the fastest average response time on Load Storm and kept a global average response time under 1000ms on WebPageTest which put them in 4th place. Another Top Tier performance by Servebolt.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.reviewsignal.com\/out.php?c=191&amp;t=wordpress-benchmarks-article-2020\">WordPress.com VIP<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Perfect uptime. 3 total errors across both load tests. The fastest peak average response time on Load Impact. WordPress VIP continues to deliver Top Tier performances.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Bonus_Analysis\">Bonus Analysis<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I also wondered if Load Storm tests were getting faster, so I looked

I am not sure why or how this came to be, many hosts in 2019 results were probably still on PHP 7.2 and were likely on 7.4 for 2020 test.
