Our take

WP Engine is a leading managed WordPress hosting provider helping businesses create and maintain high-performing websites. It offers reliable, secure and fast hosting solutions tailored to WordPress, one of the most popular platforms for building websites.

The company operates in a competitive market where speed, security and customer satisfaction are key. Luckily, WP Engine has consistently positioned itself as a top choice for businesses looking for managed WordPress hosting. Its commitment to performance makes it a trusted partner for over 185k customers worldwide.

To add to its success, the company recently acquired NitroPack, a leading solution for website performance optimization. This move underscores WP Engine's dedication to enhancing clients' site performance. With NitroPack's technology now integrated into its offerings, WP Engine plans to add even more features, helping customers achieve faster and more efficient websites.
