Lightning-fast WordPress websites
We measured actual websites before and after migration to SiteGround, tracking both TTFB and page load times for real-world performance. WordPress websites are on avg. 78% faster on SiteGround.*
Real-website Time To First Byte (TTFB) comparison*
Lower TTFB means faster website performance
Page speed results after migration to SiteGround
Actual data with real websites after migration
*Based on a comparison of real-world page speed and TTFB of WordPress websites migrated from leading hosting providers Bluehost, GoDaddy, Hostinger, WP Engine to hosting companies within the SiteGround Group between 01/01/2025 and 30/06/2025 using the SiteGround Migrator plugin. Both TTFB and Page speed were measured with Google Lighthouse, using their TTFB and Speed Index metrics. Median values are reflected in the graphs. SiteGround does not claim industry-leading page speed performance and TTFB, and they may vary by website configuration and region.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is managed hosting for WordPress?
This is a service that includes additional WordPress-specific features, services and support, providing an extra layer of convenience for website owners. With Managed WordPress Hosting, your web hosting provider handles all the nitty-gritty technical aspects of managing a website, including software updates, security optimizations, speed boosts, autoupdates, and more. Thus, the managed hosting for WordPress allows you to focus on your business and other important aspects of your website, such as SEO optimization, high-quality content, site traffic, etc. - Why choose SiteGround to host my WordPress website?
SiteGround is one of the leading hosting providers, trusted by the owners of 3,000,000 domains. As a renowned hosting provider, SiteGround has a great reputation for 24/7 expert support, bundled with an extensive list of services and solutions, crafted especially for WordPress, including a free WordPress installation, autoupdates, staging, backups, smart WAF, and others. On top of that, SiteGround offers in-house crafted plugins that help streamline otherwise complicated technical operations. Discover our WordPress Starter plugin for an easy setup, or the Migrator plugin for a hassle-free website migration. WordPress' users also leverage the free Speed Optimizer plugin for a significant performance boost, and the free Security Optimizer plugin for ultimate website safety. - How do I transfer my WordPress site to SiteGround?
There are three ways to transfer your website to SiteGround. You can either request a manual web migration done by our experts, transfer your website by yourself, or use our unique Migrator plugin.
SiteGround clients can easily order a manual website transfer from their Client Area.
If you are tech-savvy, you can also transfer your WordPress website to SiteGround by yourself without any assistance – you’ll need to move your files and database(s), configure your application, and point your domain’s DNS to SiteGround.
To save yourself time and hassle, you can migrate your WordPress website in just a few clicks with our free, user-friendly WordPress Migrator plugin. For more detailed information on how to use our plugin, you can follow the steps in this tutorial. - Will there be downtime if I move my website to SiteGround?
When you transfer your WordPress website to SiteGround, using the WordPress Migrator plugin, the migration does not lead to any downtime for your current website. Thanks to the way the plugin works, it creates a copy of the content on your live site and populates that content into an empty website created at SiteGround. Thus, your live website will not be affected during the migration process. - Where will my website be hosted?
In general, websites are hosted in data centers, which are the physical facilities in which the host server is located.
Your website at SiteGround will be hosted in one of the data centers on our globally distributed infrastructure. Currently, SiteGround uses 11 data centers on 4 continents, including Ashburn (Virginia, US), Council Bluffs (Iowa, US), Dallas (Texas, US), Los Angeles (California, US), London (UK), Madrid (Spain), Eemshaven (Netherlands), Frankfurt (Germany), Paris (France), Sydney (Australia), Singapore (Singapore). These have been chosen after careful consideration, as they have proven to be among the most reliable ones.
SiteGround clients are free to choose a data center location from the ones listed above for their websites. They can also change their data center location anytime from their Client Area. To help you choose the right data center for your website, keep in mind that the closer your data center is to your website’s visitors, the faster the loading speed of your web pages will be. - Can I start an eCommerce website with WordPress?
Yes, you can build an eCommerce website with WordPress. To start an online shop with WordPress, you need the WooCommerce plugin installed. With SiteGround hosting for WooCommerce, you get WooCommerce easily pre-installed, as well as the popular Storefront theme, so that you can have a fully-functional ecommerce site. On top of that, WooCommerce allows you to sell any product or service (both physical or digital), accept payments out-of-the-box (including bank transfers, PayPal, cash on delivery, etc.), and configure your shipping options. For more detailed information, check out our hosting plans for WooCommerce that are designed to help you manage a successful online store. - Do you provide hosting plans for agencies/resellers?
