I'm interested in finding out if my server will serve my site fast or not. Is there a way of benchmarking the server? I have a cheap hosting plan on a shared server at a very well known company that sells domains and hosting. Think super bown commercials.
Just because hosting is cheap dosn't mean it's bad, but I'm wondering if the same site hosted elsewhere will be faster or not, and how could I tell?
Also, without changing any files, are there things one can do to make their site faster with the same host. Does a dedicated IP address make the site faster?
