Methodology

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.

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.
