This plugin empowers you to thoroughly evaluate your WordPress hosting server’s performance with detailed, objective metrics. Simple and free to use – our mission is to help regular WordPress users determine if they’re actually getting the hosting quality they’ve paid for.
Thank you, you helped me choose between three purchased test servers, and one looked really good on paper in terms of resources, but thanks to your program, I discovered that it has poor and outdated resources.
This plugin is the definitive starting point for anyone who needs to cut through hosting marketing noise and see exactly what their WordPress server can—or cannot—deliver.
WordPress hosting environments are deceptively complex. Without objective data, you’re either guessing or trusting claims you can’t verify. This tool eliminates both risks.
I use it consistently in high-performance hosting evaluations, to expose their real capabilities. Before allocating budget to a VPS or dedicated stack, I run this benchmark to establish a baseline.
Crucially, it operates entirely within your existing WordPress environment—no external tools, no technical overhead. Just clear, actionable metrics that tell you whether your hosting is truly fit for purpose.
If you’re making infrastructure decisions without this data, you’re flying blind. Install it first. Optimize later, only where the numbers justify it.
I don’t know how accurate it is, but results are quite consistent. I’m using it to evaluate several VPS.
This benchmark test is a very useful addition for our wordPress hosting services. We used it many times to define the best WP-hosting mix. As a result, it increased our knowledge and profitability.
