Show HN: WooCommerce Hosting Performance Benchmarks
- arkitaip 5y agoWhat about dedicated WP hosting like WP Engine, Kinsta or Flywheel?
- ohashi 5y agoSo they participated in years past. I haven't loaded older data than 2020, only Flywheel participated that year. https://wphostingbenchmarks.com/company/flywheel/ https://wphostingbenchmarks.com/company/flywheel/ Kinsta last participated in 2019: https://reviewsignal.com/blog/wordpress-hosting-performance-benchmarks-2019/ https://reviewsignal.com/blog/wordpress-hosting-performance-... WPEngine in 2018: https://reviewsignal.com/blog/wordpress-hosting-performance-benchmarks-2018/ https://reviewsignal.com/blog/wordpress-hosting-performance-...
- arkitaip 5y agoI guess these extensive evals are impossible to run without the aid of the providers due to the costs involved. Anyways, I keep coming back to Review Signal because frankly, the competition are a bunch of scam artists and grifters.
- ohashi 5y agoThe costs matter, but also permission. I'm essentially running small DDoS attacks and measuring performance under potentially heavy load. If I just signup and do it without permission, I could negatively impact other customers. That would be unacceptable ethically for me. There is also a lot of security measures in place to block these kinds of tests, that without permission, the tests would look like: https://wphostingbenchmarks.com/company/aleforge/ https://wphostingbenchmarks.com/company/aleforge/ their LoadStorm test. They weren't willing to turn off security measures and it blocked most of the requests. Impossible to tell what a non-attack looking load would experience, but because of testing tools sending large amounts of visitors from a very small pool of IPs, it appears like a DDoS attack and security measures block it. Also thanks :) I am glad you find the work valuable!
