Frequently Asked Questions about Web Hosting

How do you test the web host server response time?

We continually monitor the server response time for a website on each web host that we reviewed using website monitoring service Pingdom. The response time measures how long it takes for the test service to download 48.77KB of html (about 12KB larger than NextAdvisor's home page). This test occurred over a month's time. A smaller number indicates a faster average response time. The average for the whole group was .518 milliseconds, or just over half a second. Business sites have the most to gain from a fast response time, as website visitors will probably be more forgiving with personal sites.
