We are sure you would rather know who is the fastest WordPress host than have to read page upon page of reviews first. If this is you, you can skip to the table below and sort our results to find your answer. Note that you can read our detailed testing specifications on this page for those of you who are techies.
However, if you aren’t sure what the different scores mean, read below:
Although we included TTFB and TLT in the tables below, Google only considers FCP, SI, and LCP (among a couple more metrics) in its page speed calculations.
Below, you’ll find the detailed testing results for each WordPress host. Click each plus icon below to explore, and you can also click on each WordPress host to read our full review about them. You can also sort the tables by any metric you want.
Disclaimer: Our reviews are not sponsored, as we used our own money to purchase hosting subscriptions. Our reviews are 100% based on our sole opinions. Reviews contain affiliate marketing links where we get a commission when you purchase or subscribe to that service. Read our Affiliate Marketing Policy here. Also, please verify all product and pricing information directly with the linked brands, as product offerings change often. FastestWP.Website is not responsible for errors or product discrepancies.
The scores in the table below are the averages of the GTMetrix scores from the 13 worldwide locations we tested. If you want to know how each WordPress host performed specifically in each location, scroll further down to that WordPress host’s section, and you’ll see the detailed GTMetrix scores. You can also click on the host’s name in the first column to read our detailed hosting review of each provider. Check out our detailed testing specifications here if you want to know how we came up with these numbers.
