As you can notice, the site loads in almost 1.5 seconds, that’s is fast than many other tested websites. The currently tested website is not including any caching plugins or speed optimization tips, so the result is noticeably good.

Load Impact Test

We created more than 100 unique visitors simultaneously to check out how the server will react towards a bunch of requests from a set of connections at once.

As you can see, the blue line is the server load time and the green line represents the number of active visitors. Throughout the test, as you can notice, the server load time was stable even in peak traffic.
