Speed for Indian visitors
WordPress.com serves sites through its own CDN across 28+ data centres and does not let you pick a server region. Cached pages load from a nearby edge for Indian visitors; for full control over the server, and a Mumbai location, self-hosted WordPress on a host such as Hostinger is the alternative.
CDN details from WordPress.com’s pricing FAQ, 19 Oct 2026. We have not hosted a site on it yet, so this page has no star score.
