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?
The free WordPress speed test from HostPress® offers you a precise analysis of your website’s loading speed. Two central factors are measured: the server response time (TTFB) and the total loading time of your site. The TTFB (Time to First Byte) indicates how quickly your server responds to a request. This value should be less than 150 ms to ensure that your site loads quickly. At HostPress®, our servers typically achieve between 20 and 100 ms – peak performance that contributes to a fast WordPress experience. Even with optimally cached pages, this value is important as it causes additional loading time before each page load.
The overall load time of your WordPress site depends on various factors such as page size, image optimization and caching. You can achieve significant improvements here through targeted optimization together with your host or service provider. Our experts will give you individual recommendations based on the WordPress speed test to further reduce the loading time. Use our speed test for WordPress to gain detailed insights into the performance of your site. With HostPress®, you also benefit from a hosting solution that provides the perfect foundation for a fast and high-performance WordPress site.
How can you make your WordPress site faster?
There are many measures that we can implement directly for you as part of our managed WordPress hosting. With our free WordPress speed test, you can find out where your WordPress performance is still lacking. We will be happy to support you with suitable tips and solutions for additional optimizations – your web designer will then take care of the actual implementation. You can also find useful recommendations in performance tests such as GTMetrix, the Google Search Console or in numerous tutorials online. Our email with the results and optimization suggestions contains clear instructions on how to make your WordPress site even faster! So what are you waiting for? Get started right away and use our WordPress speed test for your website!
Why do fast websites have an advantage?
The Google Pagespeed Score used to be the measure of all things. Today, however, new, more precise metrics play a central role: the Core Web Vitals. These metrics – above all the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and the First Input Delay (FID) – measure how users actually experience the loading speed of your site. You can also get these results with our free WordPress speed test. In contrast to the Pagespeed Score, which only provides a number, the Core Web Vitals offer more detailed insights into performance and have been a direct ranking factor for Google since 2021.
A slow Time to First Byte (TTFB), i.e. the server response time, can significantly worsen the Core Web Vitals and thus also your SEO ranking. This is also checked using our professional WordPress speed test. Inadequate hosting in particular can increase loading times, which has a negative impact on the user experience. Visitors spend less time on slow pages, which results in higher bounce rates and fewer conversions.
Fast-loading websites, on the other hand, ensure satisfied users, longer dwell times and higher conversion rates. Since Google takes these user experiences directly into account, fast hosting is crucial for your online success. At HostPress®, we attach great importance to ensuring that your WordPress site is not only stable, but also lightning-fast. Especially for business projects, you shouldn’t skimp on performance – it pays off if your site is reliable and fast. That’s why we offer every user our WordPress speed test free of charge. Of course, reliability also plays a key role, because what good is a fast site if it’s unavailable? You should therefore choose HostPress® as your partner and leave these tasks to us.

Which key figures does your WordPress speed test measure and why are they important?
Our free WordPress speed test measures the server response time (TTFB) and the total load time of your website. The TTFB shows how quickly the server responds to requests, while the total load time takes into account all other factors such as images and scripts. These values are crucial as they influence the user experience and SEO ranking. A low TTFB and fast loading times lead to better performance and more satisfied users.
How does your WordPress speed test differ from other tools such as Google Pagespeed or GTmetrix?
The WordPress Performance Test focuses specifically on WordPress websites and takes into account the special requirements of this CMS. Compared to tools such as Google Pagespeed or GTMetrix, HostPress offers specific optimization tips that are directly aligned with the results and also ensures that the site is running on WordPress-optimized hosting. This makes the test particularly accurate for WordPress users who are looking for holistic optimization.
What optimization suggestions do I get after the WordPress speed test?
After the WordPress speed test, you will receive individual recommendations from us on how to improve the loading time. This includes tips on optimizing images, caching, the use of plugins and suggestions for server-side improvements. For optimal results, you can also take advantage of our managed WordPress hosting, which is specially optimized for performance and security. These targeted measures help to significantly increase the speed and user experience of your website.
To what extent do the results from the WordPress speed test influence my SEO ranking?
The results of the WordPress Speed Test have a direct influence on your SEO ranking. Google uses the loading speed of a website, measured by values such as the TTFB and the Core Web Vitals, as a ranking factor. Slow websites can drop in the search engine rankings, which means fewer visitors. A fast server and an optimized website ensure better Core Web Vitals and therefore a higher ranking on Google – an important competitive advantage.
Is the free WordPress speed test also suitable for high-traffic websites or online stores?
Yes, our WordPress speed test from is ideal for high-traffic websites and online stores. It specifically analyzes how well your site performs even with high traffic. Especially for WooCommerce stores and websites with many visitors, we offer specific optimization tips to shorten loading times and increase stability. In addition, our managed WordPress hosting provides the necessary resources to ensure fast and reliable performance even during peak loads.
