A couple of weeks ago I shared some performance tests for server response time as well as Speed Index and time to first byte that I ran on this site before and after moving to a new web host. The posts were part of an on-again off-again series about website performance that I’ve been running the last year or so. In every post up to this point I’ve talked as though all sites were built in fundamentally the same way. As you know, not all sites are built in the same way.

Performance Testing—Speed Index And Time To First Byte
Last week I told you how I moved the site to a new host and that the site now runs on a server with better specs for a lower price. I also shared the results of a test to measure server response time and while response times are better with Siteground than my old host, they weren’t anything to brag about.
Server Response Times—A Comparison Of A Single Website On Two Different Web Hosts
Since last spring I’ve been running an on-again, off-again series about website performance. In early April I left off with some talk about hosting, server hardware, and server software, specifically Apache, NGINX, IIS, and LiteSpeed. Oddly enough, between publishing the last of those posts and writing this one, I moved the site to a different web host.
LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS)—A Drop-In Replacement For Apache Sever Software
For most of the last two months, I’ve been talking about website performance, specifically as it relates to server response times. I started with a couple of posts about hosting plans and server hardware.
Internet Information Services—Server Software With Request-Processing Architecture
For the last couple of weeks I’ve been talking about server software, specifically in regards to how each handles HTTP requests and connections. This is all part of an ongoing series about website performance.
