How We Test

Methodology

Every review is built on benchmark data, not marketing copy. Here is exactly how we evaluate infrastructure.

N°01
Performance & Speed
We benchmark TTFB, LCP, and load under stress using synthetic and real-user simulation across regions. A letter grade is assigned.
N°02
Uptime & Reliability
Thirty-day monitored uptime from independent probes. Anything below 99.9% is flagged.
N°03
Developer & Staging Tools
Git workflows, staging environments, SSH access, and client handoff capabilities are evaluated for agency viability.
N°04
Security
Free SSL, malware scanning, automated backups, and WAF availability are scored.
N°05
Pricing Transparency
Renewal pricing, hidden limits, and value relative to feature set are weighed against the entry price.
Editorial Independence

We earn affiliate commissions when readers purchase through our links, but this never influences ratings or verdicts. Providers cannot pay for placement or improved scores. Our reviews are revisited quarterly.
