Seravo also excels in other WordPress and WooCommerce hosting comparisons. Our service has paid attention to the overall functionality of WordPress to ensure that sites run as smoothly as possible, without interruptions.
Unique Architecture
Seravo maintains its own servers, and our service does not rely on any cloud service of international technology giants. No unnecessary abstraction layers or shared server resources with others.

Efficient caching is an essential part all WordPress hosting plans at Seravo. With Seravo, you don’t pay extra for HTTP caching, object caching or any other additional cache. All the features and resources of our service are available to your site as our customer, and you don’t need any additional services or other actions to benefit from them.
We Monitor Your Site’s Performance
Each hosting plan includes 24/7 monitoring, which also monitors the performance and speed of the site, giving an alert if necessary.

Our monitoring will contact the technical contacts for the site to resolve the situation causing the slowdown.

We provide advice and support for problem analysis and further optimization. Our service provides easy access to a wide range of troubleshooting and optimization tools to help you identify and resolve website bottlenecks.

At Seravo, security and performance go hand in hand. We prevent malicious traffic on several levels, and you can enable additional security settings in the service, for example with the Seravo Plugin. You can learn more about security on our WordPress Security FAQ page.

What is TTFB?
TTFB (Time to First Byte) describes the time it takes before a user’s browser (such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox or other) receives the first piece of data.
More specifically, ismyhostfastyet.com defines TTFB as the time from the start of an HTTP request until the connection is established and the byte sent by the server arrives in the browser.
Seravo offers hosting services only for sites running on WordPress. Therefore, it is of course only worth considering other providers that are also focused on WordPress implementations. There are plenty of providers, as WordPress is also the world’s most popular content management system – almost half of all websites worldwide have been built with WordPress.
WP Engine Atlas, on the other hand, has focused on headless WordPress implementations, i.e. sites where WordPress is used only as a backend, while the part of the site that is visible to the user in the browser (the frontend) is based on a technology other than WordPress. Because of this implementation, it is not directly comparable to conventional implementations of WordPress sites.
