When you pay for SiteGround, you only get the intro price for 1-3 years. In fact, don’t count on anything to be the same with how many unwanted changes they’re making. But if you signed up for 2 or 3 years, don’t expect prices to be the same once renewal prices kick in. Will SiteGround increase prices again? Nobody knows, apparently not even SiteGround. Yet 3 months later on June 18, 2020, they did it. On March 5th, 2020, Hristo (SiteGround community manager) commented on their blog: This has been reported an endless amount of times in Facebook Groups.īut how many times has SiteGround managed to fix the problem? I couldn’t find anything.
And yes, I blocked bad bots, disabled heartbeat, and my website was at near or perfect 100% scores in all testing tools: GTmetrix, Pingdom, PageSpeed Insights. Even after increasing CPU/RAM and paying $120/month, my website was still slow on SiteGround. When this happened to me, I went from $14.95/month GoGeek to $80/month cloud but was still getting CPU overages.

They use it as a way to upgrade your plan but they never, ever, ever take accountability. SiteGround’s CPU limits are brutal and usually unfixable. Here’s what happened when I moved from SiteGround: Who do you believe, a SiteGround affiliate, or Backlinko’s independent test? Let me know in the comments. I stopped recommending SiteGround in 2019, but Matthew Woodward and other bloggers continue to promote them, saying they are one of the fastest WordPress hosts.
This has been reported many times in non-Hristo managed Facebook Groups:
