How We Made Our WordPress 10x Faster!

A slow website can bring a long a lot of adverse effects that can be detrimental to businesses. Not only is the visitor experience is impacted, which can drive potential customers away, but the user’s experience in the back end is negatively impacted too.

  • This is an example about how we used own service to improve our own website.
  • Being a hosting company means we know the importance of a fast site.
  • We wanted to demonstrate that the quality of service was good enough for us, before customers trusted their WordPress site with us.
  • The service is our ‘Fast WordPress Hosting’ which can help to greatly speed up your WordPress site.

The benefits we saw from this was a site speed was 10x faster - and we like to think our site before was already pretty good!

 
WordPress speed improvement graph
 

As you can see from the data in the report above, once we moved the HA Hosting website onto the new hosting platform, it’s average loading time speed dropped from 500 msec to 50 msec – a 10x Faster Result.

This has remained consistent since the transition to the new hosting. The difference in speed in both the front end and back end is very noticeable – making a significant difference to the time it takes to load webpages on our site.

The Problem

Having a slow website in this day and age can be a detriment to your business. Apart from minor fixes it can be tricky to get a fast site without either paying a lot or it taking up a lot of your time.

We wanted to create a solution that could help both people and businesses, so that they could use what would essentially be a ‘easy fix’ to having a slow website.

The two main questions we wanted to address were:

  • Is it an easy process?
  • Is it an Effective Solution?

We developed a service which could allow for that and after initial testing the results looked positive.

However, we believe in a ‘practice what you preach’ mindset. If it’s not good enough for us, a hosting company who is expected to have a fast website, then it isn’t good enough for anyone else either. Because of this we committed to our own service and migrated our own site to this new hosting platform.

The Solution

Our new hosting platform is what we are calling ‘Fast WordPress Hosting’. It’s based on VPS (Virtual Private Server) technology, which essentially gives us and you much more flexibility with allocating storage, cpu, RAM etc.

Using this and our infrastructure at our Data Centre we can create a platform which can host a WordPress site very effectively. As it’s specially made for WordPress and as that is it’s only function it can perform much faster than a standard VPS-based hosting. The trade off for this is that it can only be used for a single WordPress site.

Think of it like a ‘Master of One' - rather than a ‘Jack of All Trades’.

The Result - 10x Faster

After migrating out site to our new hosting we saw an immediate and substantial difference in speeds. Seeing a huge improvement in load times, with the average result being 10x faster than before. As mentioned earlier, we like to think previously our website was pretty fast to load – important for a hosting company!

 

Quickly for those who don’t know, ‘msec’ stands for milliseconds. So, a result of 50 msec would mean a load time of 0.05 seconds. If we could achieve this it would be amazing, but loading webpages takes other factors into consideration such as:

  • User internet speeds
  • Bandwidth usage
  • Traffic etc.

Meaning it won’t be that the exact same result. However, it does mean you have a faster ‘base’ to start from. It still results in a much faster website than before.

What Can You Expect?

The difference in your WordPress site’s speed improvement if you used this service isn’t set – you could see more or less than 10x faster, it depends on your site. However, if your website is feeling sluggish you will definitely see a massive improvement!

Having a fast website can be crucial to businesses these days.

Is your WordPress Site running slow? – It could potentially be hindering your business!

Your business’ website is one of your most important assets. It’s one of the easiest ways to attract many people to your business.

However, your website could be having an adverse effect on your business! A slow website can have many negative effects that impact your business. You’d be surprised of how much of a difference it can make.

We think we’ve came up with a pretty effective solution to a slow WordPress site!

Did You Know?…

Only 2 Seconds

2 second expectation graphic
2 second expectation graphic

The average person on the internet now expects a website page to have loaded in 2 seconds before they’ll judge it as ‘slow’. Not very long, is it?

Almost 80% Expect…

And following from that, almost 4 out of 5 people are much less likely to buy from a website again if they have a bad experience with your website being slow.

80% on not returning graphic
80% on not returning graphic

If you combine the two stats above, there isn’t much room with the expectations within the average person on the internet.

Easy Fix. Big Impact.

We’ve came up with an easy solution to having a slow WordPress site!

We’re calling it ‘Fast WordPress Hosting’ and it does with it says on the tin – so to speak.

The technology behind it means that a singular WordPress site can be ran very effectively.

  • It works by performing a single task very well, think of it like a ‘master of one’ rather than a ‘jack of all trades’ situation.
  • Results in an improvement in WordPress speed and performance.
  • Can be a huge difference compared to regular hosting.

A Fast WordPress Makes a Difference.

What are the benefits you get from a fast WordPress?

More People, For Longer.

More people will spend time on your site and for longer. If you consider the two negative stats mentioned above, then if you speed up your site – the opposite is true. A fast site that meets people’s expectations means that people who purchased, have a higher chance of purchasing again from you.

Increased SEO Ranking:

11% SEO graphic

Research shows that a 1 second delay in website page loading speeds can, on average, can impact your SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) results by around 11%! This can make a huge difference on how many people will find your site when searching on platforms such as Google. A high Google Ranking is typically very important as people tend to only look at results on the first few pages. The higher your ranking, the more likely you are to attract people to your site.

Increase in Sales:

7% reduction from 1 second
7% reduction from 1 second

On average, a 1 second delay in page loading speed can decrease the revenue your website makes across the board by as much as 7%!

Needless to say, if you improve these speeds then you can potentially increase revenue by the same number, 7%. This won’t be an instant change by any means but will contribute to the long-term growth of your business!

Improve Your Website Speed with Little Effort!

Typically improving your website speed consists of optimising content and pages, something that can be fairly easy to do but can be tedious and take a long time. If only there was a fast AND easy solution…

There Is!

We’ve developed our ‘Fast WordPress Hosting’ package. It’s off Virtual Private Server technology and is an easy way to boost the speed of your WordPress!

We swapped our own site onto one and have experienced a 10x increase in speed. The main benefits are:

  • Easy Swap – We’ll set it up migrate your website for you! No stress for you at all.
  • Fast Website – They are made specifically for WordPress sites. So, they’re good at their jobs!
  • Inexpensive – Based on Virtualisation. Much cheaper to run compared to a physical server!

We offer High Availability Web Hosting!

We use something called ‘Ceph’ storage along with SSD storage. The easiest way to explain is that it’s a cluster of storage nodes that allow for advanced network management. Part of this infrastructure is something we use called ‘InfiniBand’ a network link that allows us to make use of a 40 Gbit link.

Making use of our hosting that uses this infrastructure essentially will result in a MUCH faster WordPress site. Sounds good right?
