To me (Italy)
WinHost sits at 11.299 and
SmarterASP.net at 10.812

very interesting that both of them are in the same range from Italy.
thanks very much for running the test.

Thanks very much for trying this & reporting the results.
Wow! I was curious if times would be longer from other locations around the world (other than North America).
Someone reported that Italy was longer time too, but over 100 seconds is hardly even usable.

WinHost: 12.8
SmarterASP.net: 1.6
So, night and day.
If you're still looking for a decent Windows-based hosting service, try an outfit called Liquid Six. They are just great.

Thanks for trying it out & reporting. You saw similar differences that I & many others saw.
I will look into Liquid Six. Thanks for the tip.

Do, you won't regret it, they are ace. (I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just a happy customer and a big, big fan.)

Winhost 47.179s vs SmarterASP 2.965s (Sweden)
|
|
|
|

Thanks for running the test & posting results.
I see there's a large difference between the two in Sweden.

(1) 44.74 s (!)
(2) 5.30 s
Accessed from a superfast, optical connection.
|
|
|
|
|
Another drastic difference in times. Thanks for running the test & posting.

Winhost approx 8 seconds.
Smarter Asp approx 2 seconds.
I suggest checking out Interserver.
|
|
|
|

Thanks so much for running the test. WinHost is consistently (from around the world) 2 - 10X slower.

That's so funny, because I just (before reading your messsage) signed up for 1 month & I uploaded speedTest files & tesed & it was less than 1 second to load.

1.1s (winhost) vs 14.7s (sMaRtErAsP.nEt). From: PA, USA.

This shouldn't matter unless they're using decade+ old servers; anything newer has hardware acceleration in the CPU and should see something like a 1% performance impact from HTTPS.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Thanks for running the test & posting. WinHost does seem to be consistently 2x - 10x slower.

The SmarterASP loads much much faster. I am located on Borneo Island.

Thanks for running the test & posting. Yep, smarterasp is consistently faster. thanks

I didn't time it exactly but, it took WinHost quite a long time. I could see the image being rendered block-by-block. At least 6-7 seconds. The SmarterASP site was less than a second, hardly noticeable. I'm in South Carolina, USA.

1. There are a few page-speed-test tools out there, that will hit your page from dozens of locations on planet earth.. measuring ttfb and full load time, etc.
https://www.dotcom-tools.com/website-speed-test[^]
2. Things like HTTPS and HTTP/2 matter, hugely.
3. If you care about speed, reliability and security (incl. ddos-protection) you should really serve everything from a CDN edge-cache like Cloudflare or AWS CloudFront.
Even if your content isn't cacheable.. just using a CF endpoint as a "proxy" will have huge benefits for short-circuiting roundtrips from browser-to-server. (Just establishing a single HTTPS connection requires several sequential TCP roundtrips.)

I tried this twice
First Test
WinHost 7.873
SmarterASP 7.703
Second Test
WinHost 9.013
SmarterASP 7.717
I am in Northern Arizona and Frontier connection is either in Phoenix or Palo Alto
So does location and ISP provider affect the numbers?

Thanks for trying it out. And, I do believe that it does matter where you are physically located in relation to where my web server is located. It's a very odd thing actually & I've learned a bit about it but it is still quite confusing.
Most people saw WinHost 2x - 10x slower. But I did notice that if you are "closer" to the WinHost one it could resolve just as fast.

Overall, I'd say there's a huge difference (running from Redmond, WA - see below).
- 1st attempt (Edge):
- HTTP Error 503.0 - Service Unavailable
- 2nd attempt:
- 7.976 seconds elapsed during load.
- 3rd attempt (refresh):
- 0 seconds elapsed during load.
- 4th attempt (Chrome):
- 2.833 seconds elapsed during load.
- 1st attempt (Edge):
- 0.972 seconds elapsed during load.
- 2nd attempt (refresh):
- 0.001 seconds elapsed during load.
- 3rd attempt (Chrome):
- 0.982 seconds elapsed during load.
Comments
Differences could be network performance, disk performance, or caching. Edge versus Chrome variation might be at related to caching connection information or caching at the web host (where the first connection, Edge established the connection information and caused the host cache to load, then Chrome used it).
A CDN would help with both performance and DDOS attacks for static content. Larger, more established providers, often have built in DDOS defenses and CDNs, but optimizing costs may require a little more creativity.
