Performance Guide

Is Your WordPress Site
Slow on Standard SSD?

Discover why standard SSD hosting is no longer sufficient for modern WordPress sites and how NVMe technology changes the rules of the game.

WordPress is a database-driven platform. Every time a visitor enters your site, dozens of SQL queries are executed in the background. If your disk infrastructure is slow; your processor waits, your visitor waits, and worst of all, Google lowers your ranking.

The Bottleneck: SATA vs NVMe

Most hosting companies still use old SATA SSD disks under the name "SSD Hosting". SATA is actually an old protocol designed for spinning disks (HDD) and limits speed to a maximum of 500 MB/s.

NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is completely different. It connects directly to the server's processor via PCIe lanes, removing all limits by reaching speeds over 3,500 MB/s.

Why Is It Vital for WordPress?

On standard hosting infrastructures, WordPress sites may slow down under heavy traffic, and database query times may increase. Modern WordPress hosting platforms running on NVMe infrastructure can handle significantly more visitors simultaneously without issues, thanks to higher IOPS capacity.

For performance-oriented projects, preferring NVMe-based WordPress hosting solutions over classic shared hosting provides a significant advantage. Choosing the right hosting infrastructure is one of the most critical factors directly affecting site speed and SEO performance.

  • Instant Admin Panel: Page transitions and saving operations in the wp-admin panel happen instantly.
