Case Study: Hardbacon Achieves 63% Faster Load Times with Kinsta

Hardbacon sees a 63% drop in average site load time after switching to Kinsta

Hardbacon, a Canadian fintech company offering a personal finance app and website, needed a better hosting solution after repeated outages, slow performance, and limited monitoring on its old server. As its site load time averaged around 8 seconds, Hardbacon looked for managed WordPress hosting with stronger uptime, security, support, and better local SEO performance.

Hardbacon switched to Kinsta, using its managed WordPress hosting with a Canada data center, automated backups, Cloudflare integration, SSH access, and staging tools. After the move, Kinsta helped reduce average load time from about 8 seconds to 3–4 seconds, with first interaction time down to 1.6 seconds, while also improving reliability and giving Hardbacon 24/7 expert support.
