World's fastest WordPress servers are based in Finland
According to Kekäläinen, Seravo has achieved its speed by doing a few big and hundreds of small things right. The -based company maintains more than 4,000 WordPress websites.
"We have built our server environment exclusively for WordPress without need for any compromises. The servers are all based on our world-class skills on Linux and the database, both born in Finland . We are at the forefront of open source ourselves. The best way to be on the cutting edge of development is to be doing it yourself."
The comparison by Google's developers is based on data from real Chrome users and their actual website load times. The comparison measures how fast the host server starts to send the HTML content on a website after a browser request. As the developer of Chrome, Google collects this data to optimise the speed of its browser. However, the same data can also be used for other purposes.
Chrome does not collect data on all browsing activity - only on visits to the world's most popular sites. This is why the sample only includes the largest quarter of Seravo's customer sites.
"Traditionally, in the WordPress world in particular, the largest sites tend to be the heaviest and slowest to load as well. This is not the case at sites hosted by Seravo. We have created our services with the specific aim to solve the most common WordPress challenges, such as slowness and security risks related to add-ons," says Otto Kekäläinen.
"Anyone who wants to compare site speeds themselves is welcome to order our service package and transfer a copy of their current site to Seravo. Using a third-party tool such as webpagetest.org makes it easy to compare performance at the current provider against us. I predict that the copy will yield better results," Kekäläinen suggests.
