WP Engine
by WP Engine
Premium managed WordPress hosting for serious businesses. Top-tier performance and security.
The Gold Standard for Managed WordPress Performance
WP Engine remains the industry leader by focusing on a "platform" approach rather than just "hosting." In 2026, their infrastructure is built on modernized, containerized components that isolate resources for every single site, ensuring that a neighbor's traffic spike never affects your performance.
Proprietary Speed & Security
At the heart of their speed is EverCache®, a proprietary caching layer designed specifically for WordPress that handles thousands of hits per minute without breaking a sweat.
Security at Scale
WP Engine blocks over 1 billion cyber attacks annually. Their platform includes automated threat detection, managed WAF, and is one of the few WordPress hosts providing annual SOC 2 audits and ISO 27001 certification.
Developer-Centric Ecosystem
WP Engine owns Local, Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), and WP Migrate. This vertical integration allows for a seamless "Local-to-Staging-to-Production" workflow that no other host can replicate.
Yes, every plan includes a global CDN powered by Cloudflare with over 200 points of presence.
Absolutely. Their eCommerce Performance Pack includes Smart Search AI and optimized database queries specifically for high-volume stores.
