: 0.645 seconds. Melbourne: 1.563 seconds. Stockholm: 1.39 seconds. Of course, this is only one aspect of performance, but the competition between the two is quite fierce. For example, the test results in Melbourne and Stockholm differ by less than 0.3 seconds. In addition, the speeds of two host New York sites are distinguished almost every second, but this is not necessarily a transaction interceptor. Through more in-depth testing, you can find out why. If you choose another data center, the situation may change. The
In general, no matter how the scores are compared, the two hosts provide a consistent speed of less than 2 seconds, which is very suitable for providing high-quality UX. In addition, the uptime monitor also shows that two hosts provide 100% site access for customers’ users. Zhiyuan: both of them got high scores, and WP engine was slightly better. It is important to consider the customer support of the host. Because you want to contact you when there is a problem with your site. In addition, when viewing managed WordPress hosting plans, it is useful to consider the supplier’s knowledge of the WordPress platform. One advantage of this type of program is that it is specifically targeted at word press users. You must include access rights to get help with word press issues. The
In 2018, we conducted an extensive questionnaire survey on the quality of popular WordPress hosting providers. More than 800 WordPress users participated in the evaluation of the support status of various hosts. Below are the WP engine and SiteGround scores (out of 5). Male support type website group WP njin male male male male male female overall support level male male male 4.7 male female WordPress star support level male 4.5 male 4.7 male male the two hosts are neck and neck. In all categories, selecting any host with a score of 4.5 or higher can obtain high-quality support. In fact, these two hosts are at the top of the host list in the questionnaire. The
Since overall support is involved, WordPress support scores need to be checked to determine which is better. As you can see, WP engine has some advantages here, but in fact, both hosts are very suitable for knowledgeable people who need platform guidance. Price: SiteGround is cheaper. Of course, it’s not a problem if you don’t have enough time to provide excellent features, high performance scores, and excellent customer support from the beginning. Price may be the determining factor for WP engine and SiteGround. Check the plan of WP engine. The cheapest plan is $20 per month. If you want to use the budget to host the website, it may be difficult to achieve. The
On the contrary, SiteGround is generally cheap. The lowest tiering plan is $4.99 per month and the promotion price is $4.99, including e-mail service, SiteGround Migrator plug-in, automatic update and backup, free cloudflare CDN and free SSL certificate. SiteGround chooses the cake from the price, unless it plans to make major changes to the high-end theme, and considers the access to the studio press theme that requires additional fees. Considering the fact that the cost of SiteGround is almost one third and most of the same functions can be obtained, it is difficult to justify the price list of WP engine if you think that all other functions are the same. The
However, there are other numbers to consider when selecting one of the plans. SiteGround’s gogeek plan can handle about 100000 visits a month, but WP engine’s scale plan can handle 400000 visits. In addition, if there are very large sites with high traffic levels, custom plans may be needed to support millions of visitors.
