I like how these tests pretty much just use the CPU and connectivity to MySQL, rather than actual useful metrics.
Hmm. I just grabbed a benchmark that was easy to use with the most popular cms. I guess there might be some other benchmarks around but non too easy for the enduser to just run. If you have others in mind feel free to share though
Really, the problem lies in that the core of WP is the design problem in many cases.
Testing relative math, ping, and network speeds are only going to get you so far when your neat 2MB skin uses indirect http include() directives, and other really piss-poor issues, like not caching CSS (or forcing simple GET request breaks by appending time_t or otherwise). This isn't even touching on poorly-written extensions that do a SELECT * on EVERY THREAD IN THE WORLD to compute what could easily be done once an hour or so and read from cache.
It would be good to see some real shared hosting benchmarks, however, in reality, any benchmark that requires wordpress is a bit daft, to say the least
It is like seeing which sprinter can run fastest in concrete shoes with a blindfold on.
Well if there are any benches that anyone (even without shell access) can perform on a shared host without problems and compare, then feel free to share it. Only way would be manual performance testing using google dev tools etc I guess.
apache ab, a standard for HTTP/1.x and HTTP/2, etc all should be things considered, but this doesn't even know/care about the webserver running, so the metrics are PHP (pretty highly pointless) numbers.
Loader.io will quickly tell you if your wordpress is optimised or not
This would then again be about cms optimization rather than webserver/plan performance benchmarking
I might just run some manual performance testing with some Paessel web tool as it allows for some interesting tests..
All right, this benchmark is from a Spanish provider (not in LET): https://www.hospedajeydominios.com/reseller.php
And this one, it is from a Spanish LET provider @jmginer

(much better)
Had some fun tonight...
Ramnode reseller, ssd, CloudLinux, Litespeed:

CloudLinux, OpenLiteSpeed (direct install, no cpanel):Methodology: All tests executed 4 times each and only the lowest results where selected.
Hopes you enjoyed this very scientific report!
So, the VPS are being gently used and the dedi is being ignored.
Sounds familiar.
