I thought I add also the screenshot that shows the result – it’s a cPanel Reseller Hosting. More details if relevant, or if you know anything I can directly check about this, please let me know

I try to refresh and watch in cPanel while I am running the test, and I think that shows I/O Limits (whatever that means exactly)

Sorry for a delay. Well, it might mean, that your hosting has IO limitations. Technically for most times you won’t feel it. Still the most important part is CPU, which looks quite OK for you. 🙂
Thanks Anton – any feedback is helpful here. I spent quite a few days on this, getting deeper into the rabbit hole. I read a lot on your blog, and it’s an amazing content that you produce here. I am a web designer, I should not spent even too much on it, but you write it in such a good and understanding way – highly interesting.
In the end, the hosting provider gave in a litle bit and they increased my values for disk I/O from 10MB/s to 20MB/s. The test results with your plugin are still showing super low results in that area.
Every super cheap hosting I have seen gets massively better results in that regards. However, as you say, to my surprise I don’t see a big impact it in real life. Everything feels quite fast and snappy. I also didn’t notice that backups, or FTP file downloads/uploads are super limiting.
Overall, I see the limitation, I see the test results with your plugin. But I don’t actually have a negative impact – but tried to understand better what it means.
Your tool and blog post helps a lot to learn – I appreciat it a lot
best regards
Markus
