Choosing a plan for your website, Installing WordPress, Rocket dashboard overview, backup creation, staging website creation, Support access, and all other things you need to know if you want to buy Rocket hosting.

Now, let’s start testing.

Testing environment

I use identical testing environment setups for hosting speed tests to get the best accurate, fair, and honest test results.

• I bought a domain from NameCheap.
• After that, I connected the domain with Rocket.net hosting by setting Cname record and txt records.
• Then, I installed WordPress on that domain with Rocket.net One Click WordPress installation wizard.
• After installing the WordPress, I deleted all the Plugins, all the themes (except twenty twenty one which is the default WordPress theme).
• After that, I installed a popular WordPress theme named Blocksy.

Testing Website Details

• Hosting: Rocket.net Managed Hosting – Starter plan
• Server Location: USA – San Jose (Default server of Rocket)
• Domain: from Namecheap
• WordPress v5.7.2
• Theme: Blocksy
• Plugins: Blocksy Companion, WP Forms Lite, Stackable, Recipe Card Blocks by WPZOOM

Process of testing

To measure the Speed and Performance of Rocket.net, we will do three types of different tests

In test 1, we will measure the Time to First Byte (TTFB) of the Rocket.net Hosting worldwide. We will test it with three different tools so that we can get the most accurate test results.

In test 2, we will measure the website’s fully loaded time, core web vitals, page size, and total requests from different worldwide locations. We will test the website speed with five various tools.

In test 3, We will do a load test of the website. By doing the load test, we can identify how much traffic this particular hosting can handle. We will do two tests in this segment.

First, we will find how much visitors hosting can handle without any errors. And after that, we will do another test. By doing the second test, we can say that hosting cannot handle it if the website gets more visitors than this number of visitors.

TTFB Test

TTFB stands for Time to First Byte. TTFB means how much time the hosting server reply to the visitor.

When visitors come to your website, the browser will send all the requests and ask for the required files to the hosting server. After that, hosting will send an initial reply to the browser. Now, the time between browser requests and hosting initial response will be called TTFB.

Your website will load fast if your hosting TTFB is low. Means, as low is the TTFB of your website, visitor have to wait for less. By this, the bounce rate of your website can decrease drastically.

TTFB can be different from location to location and time to time. Therefore, we will do multiple tests from multiple worldwide locations. So, we can get the best accurate value.

Test 1

Test 1 is done from 10 different worldwide locations. I take three different test results. I did All three tests on different days.

Server Location	Test 1	Test 2	Test 3	Average
Frankfurt	43.89 ms	55.3 ms	52.82 ms	50.67 ms
Amsterdam	127.84 ms	121.15 ms	120.43 ms	123.14 ms
London	112.21 ms	128.23 ms	40.56 ms	84.65 ms
New York	31.11 ms	41.44 ms	32.66 ms	35.07 ms
Dallas	31.7 ms	32.45 ms	43.48 ms	35.87 ms
San Francisco	172.28 ms	188 ms	201.63 ms	187.30 ms
Singapore	288.25 ms	44.89 ms	77.55 ms	136.89 ms
Sydney	48.96 ms	35.62 ms	107.34 ms	63.97 ms
Tokyo	59.7 ms	95.9 ms	72.34 ms	75.98 ms
Bangalore	381.17 ms	80.77 ms	65.1 ms	175.68 ms
Global Average	129.71 ms	82.37 ms	81.39 ms	96.92 ms

By watching the test results of TTFB Test 1, we can see that Rocket is performing exceptionally well in the test. Because, Rocket is performing very well worldwide, not in just a host location.

The reason for the performance of Rocket is Cloudflare enterprise.

I have tested many shared hostings, cloud hostings, and managed hosting, but I have never seen such good results in the TTFB test worldwide. This is why I love Rocket.net.

All other managed hostings, cloud hostings, or shared hostings perform very well in the website host location, but they can not perform well worldwide.

Test 2

Test 2 is done in GT Metrix by seven worldwide locations.
By seeing the results of test 2, we can see the power of Rocket.net. The results are the same as test 1, which is the best results, I have ever seen.

Server Location	TTFB
Vancouver, Canada	108 ms
Hong Kong, China	108 ms
London, UK	67 ms
Mumbai, India	255 ms
San Antonio, TX, USA	73 ms
Sydney, Australia	156 ms
São Paulo, Brazil	184 ms
Global Average	135 ms

Test 3

Test 3 is done from 18 (yes, 18) different worldwide locations. This is the most extreme test of the TTFB test segment.

Server Location	TTFB
S Africa	45 ms
Sweden	128 ms
India	41 ms
France	97 ms
England	89 ms
Ireland	49 ms
S Korea	58 ms
Bahrain	143 ms
Japan	287 ms
Brazil	138 ms
Canada	42 ms
Hong Kong	155 ms
Singapore	81 ms
Australia	70 ms
Germany	65 ms
USA (VA)	44 ms
USA (OH)	92 ms
USA (OR)	68 ms
Global Average	97 ms

Wow ????! The results of Test 3 are fantastic. Rocket.net is performing very Extreme Worldwide. The average worldwide TTFB is 97 ms which is similar to TTFB Test 1.

Here we have completed all the tests of TTFB tests. If we consider test 1 and test 3 results as our final results, 97 ms would be the average worldwide TTFB. This is the very best performance hosting I have ever tested.

Now, let’s move to the next test.

Speed Test

We will measure the website’s fully loaded time and google core web vitals figures in the Speed test. You can compare these test results with another hosting provider, and you can decide which hosting is performing well.

Test 1

Test 1 is done with the Google Pagespeed Insights Tool.

Mobile

Google Pagespeed tool provides mobile test results with the regular test.

Metrics	Test 1	Test 2	Test 3	Average
Score	95	98	96	96
First Contentful Paint	1.9s	1.4 s	1.7 s	1.6 s
Time to Interactive	3.1s	3.0 s	3.0 s	3.0 s
Speed Index	1.9 s	1.4 s	1.8 s	1.7 s
Total Blocking Time	170 ms	130 ms	130 ms	143 ms
Largest Contentful Paint	2.3 s	1.4 s	2.4 s	2.0 s
Cumulative Layout Shift	0.003	0.003	0.003	0.003

By watching the mobile test results, we can see that Rocket.net scores 96 points on average. The Time to Interactive is 3.0 s which is quite fast as mobile speed for any website. The average Speed index for mobile is 1.7 seconds.

Desktop

Metrics	Test 1	Test 2	Test 3	Average
Score	100	100	100	100
First Contentful Paint	0.4 s	0.4 s	0.4 s	0.4 s
Time to Interactive	0.4 s	0.4 s	0.4 s	0.4 s
Speed Index	0.6 s	0.5 s	0.5 s	0.5 s
Total Blocking Time	0 ms	0 ms	0 ms	0 ms
Largest Contentful Paint	0.6 s	0.7 s	0.6 s	0.6 s
Cumulative Layout Shift	0.001	0.001	0.001	0.001

Rocket.net is performing very well on the desktop. It scores a total of 100 points on the desktop test. The average Time to Interactive and Speed Index is 0.4 seconds and 0.5 seconds accordingly.

Test 2

Test 2 is done by Pingdom tools. To get the worldwide performance of Rocket.net, we will test it with seven different worldwide servers.

Server Location	Performance grade	Load time	Page Size
Tokyo – Japan	81	2.40 s	1.7 MB
Frankfurt – Germany	81	1.02 s	1.7 MB
London – UK	81	0.971 s	1.7 MB
Washington D.C. – USA	81	0.462 s	1.7 MB
San Francisco – USA	81	0.750 s	1.7 MB
Sydney – Australia	81	2.26 s	1.7 MB
São Paulo – Brazil	81	2.85 s	1.7 MB
Global Average	81	1.53 s	1.7 MB

Wow ????. I am pleased with the speed and performance of Rocket.net. The average Load time is 1.53 seconds from 7 different worldwide locations. Especially, Rocket.net is performing very well in the USA and Europe. This is why because the website is hosted in San Jose – USA.

Honestly, the speed of Australia and Asia is not good as the USA and Europe. Again, this issue can be improved by choosing the nearest location for your visitors. And this will happen the same if you are using any other hosting.

But still, Rocket.net can improve worldwide performance to provide the best hosting to us. Currently, it is performing very well, but we can expect more from this perfect hosting ????.

Test 3

3rd test is done by GT Metrix from 7 different worldwide locations.

Server Location	Performance	First Contentful Paint	Time to Interactive	Speed Index	Onload Time	Fully Loaded Time
Vancouver, Canada	99%	690 ms	755 ms	701 ms	876 ms	989 ms
Hong Kong, China	100%	535 ms	607 ms	587 ms	878 s	1.1 s
London, UK	99%	392 ms	2.1 s	421 ms	526 s	2.1 s
Mumbai, India	95%	1.1 s	1.1 s	1.1 s	1.5 s	1.7 s
San Antonio, TX, USA	100%	547 ms	583 ms	577 ms	661 s	753 s
Sydney, Australia	98%	858 ms	1.1 s	878 ms	1.1 s	1.2 s
São Paulo, Brazil	95%	1.0 s	1.2 s	1.0 s	1.5 s	1.7 s
Global Average	98%	731 ms	1.0 s	752 ms	1.0 s	1.3 s

The global average Time to Interactive is 1.0 seconds, which is very good. The global average Fully Loaded Time is 1.3 seconds. Remember that these test results are for desktops. Honestly, Rocket.net is performing very well in this segment.

Test 4

Let’s move to Test 4. This test is done from ten different worldwide server locations.

Server Location	Score	Time
Frankfurt	92	910 ms
Amsterdam	94	1.36 s
London	95	735 ms
New York	96	529 ms
Dallas	95	1.03 s
San Francisco	97	1.1 s
Singapore	95	1.26 s
Sydney	95	1.14 s
Tokyo	93	780 ms
Bangalore	96	2.86 s
Global Average	95	1.17 s

You can see that the global average load time is 1.17 seconds, and the average score is 95.

By the results of this test, we can say that Rocket.net is performing very well in the USA and Europe. Also, it is performing well In Asia and Australia. But the results of Banglore India is not quite good.

The reason for this could be temporary or server load at the testing time. If the load time of India could be 1.5 seconds or less, then the average load time could be near 1 second. But, I do not want to test it a second time and manipulate the entire test.

Test 5

Test 5 is done by Fast or Slow from 18 different server locations.

Vital	Score
Performance Score	100
First Contentful Paint	100
Speed Index	100
Largest Contentful Paint	100
Time to Interactive	100
Total Blocking Time	100
Cumulative Layout Shift	100

Server Location	Interactive
S Africa	398 ms
Sweden	510 ms
India	457 ms
France	490 ms
England	443 ms
Ireland	488 ms
S Korea	537 ms
Bahrain	755 ms
Japan	851 ms
Brazil	693 ms
Canada	385 ms
Hong Kong	652 ms
Singapore	578 ms
Australia	673 ms
Germany	415 ms
USA (VA)	496 ms
USA (OH)	462 ms
USA (OR)	425 ms
Global Average	539 ms

We can see that Rocket.net is scoring 100 points in all the vitals by seeing the test results, which is quite good. Also, we can see that the average worldwide Interactive time is 539 ms. Keep in mind that this test is from desktop, so test results of mobile can be different from this.

That’s enough tests to measure website speed.

Now let’s move to the load test.

Load Test

By doing the load test, we can find how much traffic Rocket.net hosting can handle at a particular time. If your website gets instant traffic, then you have to focus on this test.

I send 10,000 users to the website hosted on Rocket.net (Which I can not believe because I have tested many hostings, but none of the hostings can handle more than 1,000 visitors without a single fail visit).

All of the 10,000 visits were completed without any error. In the complete test, Hosting sends approx 971.27 MB in just a minute. There was not a single visit that failed, or 400/500 error or timeout.

Response Times	Results
Average	14 ms
Minimum	8 ms
Maximum	242 ms

Response Counts

• Success: 10,000
• Fail: 0
• 400/500 Errors: 0
• Timeout: 0
• Network: 0

Bandwidth

• Sent: 1.08 MB
• Received: 971.27 MB

I have uploaded the screenshot and a video of the load test. You can see that the average response time is 14 ms. Here you should not have confused with TTFB and response time.

I am shocked by the results of the Load Test. I can not believe that this is possible for any hosting. We will also test more managed hosting in the future, so stay connected with us for more hosting tests.

Result

Okay, guys, that’s it. Here the Speed test is done completely.

The average Global TTFB of the Rocket hosting is 97 ms. The Global Average Load Time is 1.17 seconds. These are the final results of the test. You can compare these results with any of your favorite hosting providers, and you can choose good hosting for your website by comparing the test results.

My opinion

I recommend Rocket Hosting to everyone. We use Rocket hosting to host our blog. If you have enough budget and want the fastest hosting for your WordPress website, Rocket.net is the perfect and only choice.

If you compare Rocket.net with Kinsta or WP Engine then Rocket.net will clearly win because Rocket.net is performing very well worldwide. Also, you will get more visits with Rocket.net if you compare it with Kinsta and WP Engine.
