MakeWPFast

Independent WordPress performance testing and benchmarks. Real speed scores, load time analysis, and head-to-head comparisons for 13,000+ WordPress plugins and 200+ themes.

MakeWPFast tests every WordPress plugin and theme for real-world performance impact. We measure page load time (TTFB), database queries, memory usage, and assign a speed score from A to F. All benchmarks run in isolated Docker environments with identical server configurations to ensure fair comparisons. All scores are derived from measured data, not vendor claims.
