With these enhancements, the WP Engine hosting platform offers performance that is 40 percent faster than any other in WordPress. This is in addition to the software optimizations they’ve made, which have resulted in a platform-wide performance increase of 15%.

A delay of just one second can result in a conversion loss of 7% and an 11% drop in page views, resulting in millions of dollars lost and potential customers. Performance matters, really! With this new infrastructure, WP Engine can provide unrivaled performance and unparalleled speed for WordPress sites.

In alignment with Google’s rollout schedule, WP Engine are making this compute-optimized architecture standard in all Premium plans at no additional cost. Existing customers will get information about their upgrade date directly. New customers who are interested in using this technology are invited to contact a WP Engine sales representative.
