Cloudways Hosting: A Masterclass In Slow Uncached Misery | HackerNoon
Briefly

The article critiques Cloudways for its notably poor performance in loading uncached pages, comparing it to painfully slow waiting experiences and expressing frustration over the disconnection between marketing claims and actual performance.
