Fastest WordPress Hosting: 16 Hosts – TTFB/Load Times Reports

Looking for the fastest WordPress hosting?

I signed up for 16 hosting accounts and measured speeds/TTFB in Pingdom, GTmetrix, KeyCDN, and other tools. On each hosting account, I installed the same Astra Starter Site with the same 6 plugins, no cache plugin, no CDN, with SSL. I also posted screenshots of the reports.

If someone is doing a hosting speed test, check who they’re using and run their site through GTmetrix to ensure the person walks the talk. I use the test winner (Cloudways) and, depending on the test, can get <1s load times on posts with 50+ images and 500+ comments.

Pingdom Load Times

In the Pingdom test, each host was added to Pingdom tools which performed 30-minute check intervals to measure load times. Pingdom only shows the average of the last 7 days. But even with 7 days at 30-minute check intervals, each site was tested 336 times.
