Test Methodology
Transparent and reproducible. Here's exactly how we ran these benchmarks.
- Tests were run from an independent VPS located in Mumbai (not owned by any provider being tested).
- Same WordPress 6.5 installation used for all providers — same theme (Astra), same plugins (WooCommerce, Yoast).
- No CDN enabled on any provider. All tests hit origin servers directly.
- Cold cache testing — object cache and page cache cleared before each run.
- Entry-level shared hosting plans compared (₹99-149/mo range). Not VPS.
- WordPress wrk benchmark: 10 concurrent connections, 30-second run, measured transactions/second.
- PHP-FPM response: median of 50 requests to a PHP info page with no database query.
- Disk I/O: fio sequential read test, queue depth 32, 1GB file size.
- Tests conducted June 2026. Results may vary. This is not a sponsored comparison.

Note: Benchmarks are approximate and may vary based on server load, ISP, and time of day. Entry-level shared hosting plans were compared. Tested June 2026. Results shown are representative averages. Hosting providers change hardware and configurations over time — results may differ on re-test.
Why NVMe Makes Such a Big Difference
3,400+ MB/s
NVMe sequential read speeds vs ~540 MB/s on SATA SSD — the disk bottleneck disappears entirely.
Sub-ms Latency
NVMe access latency is 0.02–0.1ms. SATA SSD is 0.5ms+. For WordPress with many DB reads, this compounds.
Shared Hosting Benefit
On shared hosting, NVMe means your site doesn't slow down when neighbours have high I/O — less contention.
