Presslabs<\/a> participated for the fourth time in our WordPress Hosting Performance Benchmarks (2018)<\/a>. This review is based off the results of that test. Presslabs entered a plan into the Enterprise category, one level up from last year's $201-500 range.\u00a0Last year<\/a> Presslabs earned an honorable mention in the $201-500 price tier.<\/p>\n

The Load Storm test is designed to simulate real users coming to the site, logging in and browsing the site bursting some of the caching mechanisms typically found on managed WordPress hosts.<\/p>\n

An excellent performance on Load Storm from Presslabs<\/a>. No signs of load and minimal errors.<\/p>\n

The Load Impact test makes sure static caching is effective so that if a page gets a lot of traffic the site will keep responding without issue.<\/p>\n

Zero errors and sub 200ms average response time. Excellent.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Presslabs<\/a> stepped up a price tier and improved from honorable mention last year to earning Top Tier WordPress Hosting Performance award in 2018 at the Enterprise tier. It's nice to see another worthy competitor in the Enterprise space that can handle large sites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
