You can now check your website server speed with a new service from
Bitcatcha. Bitcatcha, which has headquarters in the Federal Territory of Labuan, Malaysia, is a free service that determines how quickly your website server responds. It instantly compares your website’s server speed against the speeds of top websites.
Server speed is of vital importance to websites. Not only does a fast loading website offer a high quality of user experience, it is key to good ranking in search engines like Google – sites need response times of under 200 ms to be highly placed. Bitcatcha benchmarks the speed of your website server against the top 10,000 sites globally as measured by Alexa. The service is a benefit to companies as it allows them to determine how effective their site is when compared to the world’s best websites.
"Bitcatcha is proud to offer an already powerful and essential tool that enables people to examine and improve their server speed,” explained a company spokesperson in a press release. “Now more than ever, this tool is invaluable. The competition is fierce and the tolerance for slow load times is getting smaller and smaller – Amazon would lose $1.6 billion dollars a year if their site slowed down by a second. Comparison rankings using the Alexa Top 10,000 will enable businesses to understand their results more easily, and take appropriate action as a result."
