Let me tell you folks the latest Review Signal WordPress Hosting Benchmarks are pretty exciting especially for those of us at Pressable.
You see we didn’t just rank well; we absolutely crushed it! We’re talking top-tier status and that’s no small feat.
But before we dive into the bragging rights let’s talk about these benchmarks and why they matter.
The Review Signal WordPress Hosting Benchmarks: A Deep Dive into Performance
The Review Signal WordPress Hosting Benchmarks are a big deal in the hosting world.
They’re a comprehensive and independent evaluation of WordPress hosting providers testing their ability to handle significant traffic loads.
It’s not just about claiming the crown but about giving you the customer reliable insight into who’s truly delivering the performance you need.
Think of it like a standardized test but for hosting.
These benchmarks are like a magnifying glass putting each host’s performance under the microscope.
They don’t just look at peak performance; they analyze how a host behaves when the pressure’s on.
This is critical because let’s face it website traffic can fluctuate.
You need a host that stays strong even during peak hours or sudden spikes.
The beauty of Review Signal is that they don’t play favorites.
Every host participating in the benchmarks pays a fee to cover the testing costs.
That means the results are completely unbiased a crucial aspect when making a critical decision like choosing your hosting provider.
The Two Levels of Recognition: Top Tier and Honorable Mention
Now let’s get back to those coveted awards.
Review Signal isn’t about picking a single “winner.” They’re more interested in recognizing excellence in specific areas and that’s where the two levels of recognition come in:
Top Tier: This is the crème de la crème the elite group of hosts that absolutely nail the tests. To earn this distinction a host needs to demonstrate:
- Near-perfect uptime (99.9% or higher): Your website needs to be up and running period. No excuses.
- Minimal performance degradation under load: Even when your website’s experiencing a surge in traffic there should be barely any noticeable impact on speed or responsiveness.
Think of it like this: top-tier hosting is like having a rock-solid foundation for your website.
It can handle anything thrown at it from a busy holiday shopping season to a viral blog post going around the internet.
Honorable Mention: This recognition goes to those hosts that fall just short of top-tier status. It’s like being on the “almost-there” list but still making a strong showing. Reasons for an honorable mention might include:
- Slight struggles with a load test: Maybe they hit a few hiccups during the stress test but overall they performed well.
- A small number of errors: A few minor glitches but not enough to knock them out of the running.
- Increased response times: Their performance might have slowed down slightly during peak periods but not enough to significantly affect the user experience.
Essentially honorable mention means that the host is still a solid choice just not quite in the top tier.
Benchmarks by Price Tier: Finding Value Without Compromising Performance
Here’s a crucial aspect that often gets overlooked: Review Signal classifies the benchmarks by price tier.
This is important because it allows you to see how hosts perform at different price points.
You might be willing to pay a premium for a top-tier hosting plan on an expensive enterprise plan.
But what if you’re on a budget?
That’s where Pressable shines.
We’re not just top-tier for expensive plans; we consistently rank high across all price tiers.
This means you don’t have to sacrifice quality for affordability.
You can get that lightning-fast reliable performance even on our budget-friendly plans.
Pressable’s Top-Tier Performance: A Consistent Performer Across The Board
Now let’s talk about Pressable’s performance in the Review Signal benchmarks because it’s something we’re incredibly proud of.
We consistently scored in the top tier earning those coveted full stars across several categories.
Static and Dynamic Tests: Dominating in Speed and Performance
The Review Signal benchmarks use various tests to measure a host’s performance.
We dominated in the Static and Dynamic tests specifically:
Static Test: This test measures how fast a host can deliver simple static content like images and text. We were crowned the fastest in this test with both the fastest average and p95 (95th percentile) response times. This translates to a blazing-fast experience for your users even when they’re accessing content-heavy pages.
Dynamic Test: This test simulates a real-world scenario measuring how quickly a host can deliver dynamic content like database-driven pages. Again we performed exceptionally well earning top tier recognition for our fast login and Load Storm results.
WooCommerce Benchmarks: Excellence in E-commerce Hosting
In 2020 Review Signal introduced a specific category for WooCommerce hosting.
This category is crucial because it addresses the unique demands of running an e-commerce store.
We achieved a top-tier ranking in this category too with the fastest average and p95 load times in the static test.
This proves that we’re not just good for standard websites but we can also handle the heavy lifting of a bustling online store.

Making an Informed Decision: Beyond the Benchmarks
It’s great to see those top-tier rankings but we encourage you to look beyond just the numbers.
Here are some additional factors to consider when choosing a hosting provider:
- G2 Reviews: Check out what other customers have to say. Look for reviews that go beyond just speed and performance. Do customers find the support helpful? Is the user interface easy to navigate? You want a host that excels in all areas.
- Customer Support: The best hosting provider in the world is useless if you can’t get the help you need. Look for a company with a reputation for prompt and friendly customer service.
- Features and Scalability: Make sure the host offers the features you need whether it’s security measures backups or integrations with other tools. And as your website grows you want a host that can easily scale up to handle the increased traffic.
Ultimately choosing the right hosting provider comes down to finding the right balance of performance features and support.
With Pressable you get all three.
