Information about the
WordPress speed test
What are the benefits of fast hosting for your WordPress?
How does the WordPress speed test from HostPress work?
Our WordPress speed test measures the response time of your server (TTFB) and the total load time of your website. The TTFB is a good measure of the quality and connection of the server and should not exceed 150 ms, although we usually measure between 20 and 100 ms for our customers. This value is very important because it occurs as an additional loading time before the loading process, even with optimally cached pages. The total loading time of your website, on the other hand, depends on several factors and here you need to work with your host / service provider. We can give you specific tips on how to improve this. Meanwhile, our hosting provides the ideal foundation for a superior performing website.
Making WordPress faster, but how?
There is a whole range of measures that we implement for our customers as part of our managed WordPress hosting. We will be happy to provide you with assistance on all other points or name the appropriate solutions. However, the implementation is then the task of the respective web designer. These approaches can also be found in performance tests such as GTMetrix.com, the Google Search Console or infoposts and tutorials on the internet.
Why do fast websites have an advantage?
Google Pagespeed was on everyone’s lips for a long time. There are now new key figures that describe the visitor experience much more precisely. The pagespeed value, on the other hand, was a single figure in which a wide variety of influences were mixed together. In addition to the pagespeed score, the TTFB, also known as server response time, described at the beginning of this article, also influences these new metrics from Google called Core Web Vitals. These have replaced the former Pagespeed Score as an SEO metric and have been used by Google as a direct ranking factor since 2021. (You can find our series of articles on Core Web Vitals here) The LCP and FID values in particular can be significantly slowed down by suboptimal hosting, which can severely disrupt your ranking depending on the industry and competition.
The fact that Google takes such measures into account is not least due to the fact that users are simply happier on pages that load smoothly. The dwell time is longer, the bounce rate is lower and visitors’ goals are more likely to be fulfilled. And what does the latter mean for the website operator? Quite simply, more conversions. More sales through a better brand experience and better user loyalty. Because this trend has been developing for a long time and is only getting stronger, we have always attached great importance to ensuring that our customers’ WordPress websites have the resources they need. Cutting corners here makes no sense for business web projects – and that’s where we come in. (Not to mention the issue of FAILURE SAFETY, which we have also always emphasised).
