One of the best ways to get your website ranking high on Google is to improve the page loading times. A key part of improving page speed is to ensure you choose to host your website on good quality hosting.

A suitable response time is under 200 milliseconds (0.2 seconds) and the page is fully loaded under 2 seconds – according to Cloudflare. Using 2023 data from Cyber News, we can see a breakdown of the average loading times of 8 hosting providers.

In general, hosting providers that use hosting software called cPanel – such as Bluehost and InterServer – generally do not perform at the top of the speed list. Mid-level options – in terms of performance and cost – include 1&1 Ionos and HostGator. At the top of the scale, the best-performing hosting includes Hostinger and InMotion.

If the top-performing hosting is affordable for you, then it is worth it for the improved performance, security and other features that are part of the package provided.
