THE FASTEST WEB HOSTS
Speed claims are everywhere; field measurements are rare. This report ranks hosts by Time to First Byte recorded on their own origin in the Chrome UX Report, the same real-user dataset Google uses for Core Web Vitals. Lower is faster. It reflects how quickly a host's network answers a request, measured from real visitors rather than one synthetic test.
The ten fastest hosts answer a request in 61 to 170 milliseconds, with 10 clearing 200 ms. For context, a first byte under 200 ms feels instant while most origins sit between 400 and 800 ms. These are the networks that answer before a visitor notices the wait.
Hosts are ordered by p75 Time to First Byte from Chrome UX Report field data on their own origin, lowest first. It is a real-user signal for the host's network and infrastructure, not a guarantee for every customer site. Only hosts with sufficient field data are ranked. No paid placements.

By real-user field TTFB, HHosting is fastest on HostList, answering in about 61 ms. TTFB is measured on the host's own origin in the Chrome UX Report.
Time to First Byte is how long a server takes to send the first byte of a response. It captures network latency and server processing before anything renders, so a low TTFB is the foundation of a fast site and a direct input to Core Web Vitals.
It is the host's own origin speed, measured from real Chrome visitors. It reflects the network and infrastructure you cannot change, rather than your specific application. Your site can be slower if your code or images are heavy, but it is unlikely to be consistently faster than the host's own floor.
