Given the complexities of the Geocraft theme, I have been wrestling with response speed issues. I tried two previous hosting providers both of which ranked 23/100 and 32/100 on the Google Speed Test: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights I just migrated yesterday to a third host that specifically , and only, hosts WP websites. My new speed is 85/100 and I am very, very impressed with their service and speed of deployment. They did the migration for me as well all as part of the hosting fee of $9.95/month. They also have a caching setup that removes the need for a caching plugin. So you know, I am not a reseller of this company and get no benefit other than helping you improve your performance. They also have a European based data center too. If you're interested, view them here: Lightningbase.com
Thank you Rodger for sharing, this will be a great benefit especially when sites gain a lot of listings and traffic. Again many thanks! Take care Tob
Roger-- Another thank you. Another tip for increased speed. C-panel for wordpress hosting engine probably has php management, You can optimizatize your datafiles. Increased my load time.
Hi Rodger I looked the site over and I don't see any 1-800 No#. Is there people to call for help. I don't like being on my own with over 5,000 to 10,000 pages? with every city on earth listed? well may be!
Thanks for contacting Lightning Base. We do provide full support for WordPress multisite, and having a large number of pages on your site should be fine. If you will have search engine crawlers visiting all those pages it may add up to a lot of traffic, so you will likely want to choose one of our larger plans. Regarding help, our customer service is provided via email and our ticketing system, we do not generally provide phone support. Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be happy to help. Best, Chris Piepho Founder Lightning Base LLC http://lightningbase.com
Phone support was my first question to Chris who to date has replied by email very quickly with excellent support and detailed feedback, not canned responses. I wouldn't recommend them if I didn't think they were worth it.
