Now we’ve taken it to the next level by introducing 7 brand new High Frequency (HF) plans<\/a> that give a whole new meaning to performance.<\/p>\n What makes these plans different? How powerful are they? And why should you consider High Frequency Hosting?<\/p>\n All is answered in this article, as we give you the lowdown on our newest high-octane creations and put them to the ultimate test.<\/p>\n Here’s what we’re covering:<\/p>\n Over the years, we’ve introduced many new plans to our hosting lineup, but these High Frequency plans are an entirely different beast.<\/p>\n Because although they’re built on the same powerful infrastructure as our other plans, they have a completely different hardware setup.<\/p>\n This is what sets these plans apart and allows them to handle more traffic load, perform tasks at a higher speed, and execute operations more effectively (more on that soon).<\/p>\n Here’s a quick look at the next generation technology behind our HF plans:<\/p>\n High Frequency plans are powered by blazing-fast 3GHz+ Intel Xeon processors that are made specifically for sites requiring uncompromising performance.<\/p>\n This cutting edge processor greatly outperforms standard CPUs, which for context, typically fall within the 2GHz range.<\/p>\n Having next level CPU speed doesn’t mean much if your local disk storage can’t keep up.<\/p>\n This is the advantage of NVMe SSD storage, which unlike regular SSD storage, has the capacity to match the enhanced CPU throughput.<\/p>\n Combine these two hardware elements, and you have a recipe for high-performance architecture that seamlessly handles increasing requests and maintains reliability as your hosted site’s workload continues to grow.<\/p>\n You and your clients also get to enjoy the following benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n But enough about the tech and what performance benefits High Frequency ‘should’ give you.<\/p>\n Next, we will truly put them to the test, so you can see how powerful they really are for yourself.<\/p>\n Before launching these new plans to the world we had to be sure they lived up to their name.<\/p>\n So, our expert hosting team arranged a set of tests to see how these plans performed in real-world scenarios compared to our regular plans.<\/p>\n We decided to test two crucial categories when it comes to hosting performance: CPU performance and disk performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n Here’s how it went down:<\/p>\n For the first two tests in the CPU performance category, we simulated multiple people visiting our website\u2019s cached and uncached home page using the ‘Maintain client load’<\/strong> method.<\/p>\n For the third test we simulated users adding a product to their cart on our website multiple times using this same load method.<\/p>\n All three tests involved scaling up page visitors to a targeted max client count, specific to each plan, within five minutes. During this time, each client repeatedly made requests, simulating high-traffic website use.<\/p>\n The best plans handle more requests and have a lower (faster) average response time.<\/strong><\/p>\n Here’s how it all went down:<\/p>\n Here is the test data:<\/p>\n Here is the test data:<\/p>\n Here is the test data:<\/p>\n For this performance test category we used the FIO (Flexible I\/O) tool to perform random read and write operations on the disk.<\/p>\n The higher read\/write speed = better upload\/download.<\/strong> Faster read\/write also means increased database performance.<\/p>\n Satisfied that High Frequency can deliver the power, speed, and reliability you’re looking for?<\/p>\n\n

Putting High Frequency To The Test<\/h2>\n
CPU Performance: High Frequency vs Regular Hosting<\/h2>\n
Methodology:<\/h3>\n
1. Load test for increasing traffic on *cached* home page<\/h3>\n
![\"CPU](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/graph-cachedhome.png\")
![\"A](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/cache-hp-1050x943.png\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe Results: Up to 108% performance increase!<\/h3>\n
\n
\n2. Load test for increasing traffic on *uncached* home page<\/h3>\n

![\"A](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/uncached-hp-1050x943.png\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\nResults: Up to 126% performance increase!<\/h3>\n
\n
\n3. Stress testing PHP with repeated add-to-cart simulations<\/h3>\n
