Prehost.com Unveils Web Hosting Speed Insights From 17M+ Websites
Prehost.com launches a new service that provides accurate speed benchmarks from over 17 million websites, offering reliable web hosting performance insights.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 20, 2024 (Newswire.com) - The new service Prehost.com reveals the true performance of web hosting services. Using data from real user visits on over 17 million of the most popular websites, Prehost offers reliable benchmarks focused on the key speed parameter – TTFB (Time to First Byte).
The service emphasizes accuracy, preferring hard data over marketing slogans. Monthly analyses, based on real user interactions with millions of websites, provide a true assessment of web hosting performance from various perspectives. This approach is unique in the industry, where synthetic tests and subjective reviews often dominate.
Page load speed is crucial for online success today. 53% of visits are likely to be abandoned if pages take longer than 3 seconds to load.[1] Akamai data from over 10 billion visits to top retail sites says that a 100-millisecond delay hurt conversion rates by 7%.[2] Google’s 2017 research found that a 0.5-second delay in page load led to a 20% drop in purchases.[3]
“Efficient web hosting is the foundation of a website and directly impacts conversion rates, bounce rates, search engine visibility, ad costs, and even visitor stress levels. In the era of impatient users, every millisecond counts.” – says Mateusz Mazurek, founder of Prehost.com.
Prehost focuses on the TTFB (Time to First Byte) parameter, which measures the time from when a browser sends a request to when the server responds with the first byte of data. This metric reflects the responsiveness of web hosting, independent of the website’s front-end optimization.
The mission of the service is to provide clear and reliable data to help website, store, or blog owners make informed hosting decisions. Initially, the service analyses 34 popular hosting brands, with plans to expand its data and functionalities soon.
