LABUAN FT, MALAYSIA / ACCESSWIRE / July 12, 2016 / Server speed is essential in delivering a seamless user experience. This seamless user experience is itself essential to a website that actively generates leads and offers optimum ROI. In an increasingly globalized world, businesses of all scales need to know how fast their server responds to requests worldwide.

Now, users can also put that information into context, by ranking server speed against the top 10,000 sites in the world.
Bitcatcha has recently updated the free server speed test to benchmark the results against the top 10,000 websites on the web. To do this, they harvested the top 10,000 sites ranked by Alexa, and then checked the server response time of every single site.

This allows businesses to see how well their site is performing against the best in the business, and Bitcatcha has published insights as to why this is important. Google ranks sites with fast servers favorably, and business owners should be aiming for response times under 200ms to compete.

Now more than ever, this tool is invaluable.
