EasyWP Performance

I have been using Namecheap’s EasyWP Turbo Managed Hosting Plan for the last one month. I have created some demo websites and was testing them only. I had more problems connecting my domain, although I did not contact Customer Care.

I performed the performance checks using speed checking tools like the popular GTMetrix, Google Pagespeed Insight, and Pingdom.

You can see the results of the three tools below, where I got an A grade in all speed test tools.

Final Thoughts on EasyWP

Namecheap’s EasyWP managed WordPress hosting is excellent in terms of pricing and performance. There are some loopholes that you can ignore. EasyWP gave quite a good performance during my testing, but I never thought that would be so good.

I felt terrible that you can host a single website, no matter what plan you buy.

Overall, EasyWP’s hosting plans are beginner-friendly and significantly cheaper. If you are a beginner blogger or want to create a website on a managed WordPress hosting, I suggest that you try using EasyWP of Namecheap.
