Astounding! When compared to Kinsta and Pressable, the same site on Levamo is not only in a different league, it's pushing interstellar travel in a different galaxy. I have done zero optimization. For the BuddyBoss Members page, GTMetrix: D --> A. Switching to Levamo will instantaneously give you a competitive edge.
As the team behind Duplicator, we work with every major WordPress hosting environment all the time. When we switched Duplicator.com to Levamo, the performance gains were immediately obvious. Our site is significantly faster, and we're seeing the benefits across the board.
For Easy Digital Downloads, the move to Levamo wasn't just a hosting change. It was removing a ceiling on what we could do and how fast we could move. Our time to first byte was cut in half, if not more, right out of the gate. That told us the underlying infrastructure was genuinely performant.
After 20 years in web development, I have tried most of the well-known hosting companies. Levamo is the perfect solution for dynamic WordPress sites. The performance is incomparable to other hosting services. The support has been amazing. They respond to chats quickly at all hours of the day.
I've been building and maintaining websites for my various businesses for about 25 years. The support team is fantastic, polite, responsive, and most of all, knowledgable in all aspects of getting my sites up and running. My sites are also lightening fast.
I run a digital agency and have used a lot of different hosting setups for different WordPress sites. Levamo is by far the best. It's a great server for complex websites, and their support is top-notch.
