The criteria you mentioned seem to apply only to
reliable paid hosting.

I don't know why you insist on free hosting service
because from the business point of view, they
don't provide reliable server to run your website,
even though you upgrade to become their paid users
later on.

When you face an urgent matter, they can't help
you instantly since they only provide email support.

But if you're building a personal website just to
share with your closed friends and family and not
using it as a business platform, then that probably
justifies your choice.

I personally would not recommend any free web hosting
service for my clients who run businesses because
they really stinks. I've used several of them when
I first started out, but they failed me.

Again, if you just want to build a non-profitable
website, any free hosting service will do the trick.
But if you intend to go into business, then I would
suggest you to go get a reliable paid hosting service
which is easy to use, navigate, has efficient web
tools and has faster loading time, as per your expectation.

You might want to refer to the website below which
I found pretty useful and helpful for those who
wanted to know which web hosting service works best
for them.

Best of luck!

Advantage: free and no sponsor advertisement
disadvantage: they do experience some downtime at times, but not something major. Also they have to review your website before it can be seen by public to make sure it is not a spam or something that violates their TOS. But it is not a big deal you can be building your website while it is under review.
