Core Web Vitals

Core Web Vitals are important signals for user experience and greatly impact ranking. Hence, you can’t ignore the Core Web Vitals test at any cost. Hostingstep happens to be the first site to persistently share the Core Web Vitals report for various hosting services. Here is the Core Web Vitals report for ChemiCloud:

As you can see, my ChemiCloud site had a ‘Largest Contentful Paint’ of 619 ms, a ‘Total Blocking Time’ of 0 ms, and a ‘Cumulative Layout Shift’ of 0.07. That’s a decent Core Web Vitals score for sure, and ChemiCloud has comparatively better Core Web Vitals than Kinsta and SiteGround.

Load Testing

I performed load testing on my ChemiCloud test site, sending 500 visitors to check how well it responds to traffic. ChemiCloud recorded an average response time of 963 ms, which is quite disappointing compared to other services.

Global TTFB

The global TTFB test is another effective test for checking the performance of a hosting service. It is especially useful for sites that rely on multiple global locations for their traffic. I pinged my site, which is hosted by ChemiCloud from 40 global locations.

ChemiCloud recorded an average TTFB of 571 ms with a decent TTFB. ChemiCloud has a better global TTFB than many top hosting companies, such as Kinsta, Bluehost, and WP Engine.
