We published our benchmark methodology. Here is the raw k6.

Every hosting company claims speed. Most refuse to publish how they measured it. Here is ours, in full, with the k6 scripts and raw output.

Marketing pages from hosting companies tend to make extraordinary claims with no methodology — 'our customers see a 200% improvement', without the dataset, without the load profile, without even a screenshot of the run. We promised in our launch blog post that we would publish ours. This post is that promise paid down.

The site under test is a clean WordPress install with WooCommerce, 25 products, a Storefront theme, no caching plugin. Identical export imported to four hosts plus CubitRace. Each host's largest 'small business' plan, billed monthly. Probes from a single k6 worker in fra1, hitting origin (no CDN). 30-minute warmup followed by 60 minutes at three load profiles: 50 / 200 / 500 concurrent users.

The numbers, the k6 scripts, the raw stage outputs, and the post-run analysis are all in our public benchmarks repo. We are happy to re-run any host on request. If you find a methodological problem, open an issue — we will fix it.
