About
Why you should trust us?
Prehost.com, launched in 2024, benchmarks web-hosting providers exclusively on verifiable data rather than marketing claims.
Each month we analyse real-world performance from over 17 million websites, focusing on Time To First Byte (TTFB) metrics drawn from Google’s Chrome User Experience Report, and we cross-check this with customer feedback aggregated from trusted platforms such as Google, Trustpilot, G2 and Capterra.
Our transparent, regularly updated methodology—rooted in reliability and honesty—empowers you to choose hosting that truly meets your needs instead of the one with the loudest advertising.
Our ranking methodology
At PREHOST, we analyze web hosting performance and speed based on real-world data from over 17 million websites globally. We use the TTFB (Time To First Byte) metric, which measures the time from sending a request to a server to receiving the first byte of data. TTFB is crucial for page loading speed, affecting user experience and SEO optimization.
Our TTFB data comes from The Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX), an official Google dataset showing how users interact with popular websites. CrUX provides TTFB information in two categories:
- TTFB P75: average time for the 75th percentile
- percentage distribution of TTFB: good (0-800 ms), needs improvement (800-1800 ms), poor (above 1800 ms)
We also analyze which hosting company serves a particular website, based on data about nameservers (NS) collected independently.
Results for TTFB P75 and percentage distribution are presented on PREHOST as the latest weighted average for sites hosted by specific companies. All this data is updated monthly.
