AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WP Engine today announced its WordPress Digital Experience Platform, the industry’s leading solution to build, deliver and optimize digital experiences using WordPress, the most popular content management system for professional and personal websites which powers 28 percent of the web. The WP Engine Digital Experience Platform provides the agility, performance, intelligence and integrations that customers need to drive their online business forward faster.
Global Ecosystem
With more than two billion page views across 500,000+ digital experiences every day and 70,000+ global customers, the WP Engine Digital Experience Platform offers a comprehensive suite of software, infrastructure, analytics, security and support solutions. These solutions enable a global ecosystem of developers, marketers and agencies to innovate and go-to-market faster, improve the performance of their brand’s online presence, deliver actionable insights to improve the ROI of their sites and applications, and enable integrations with the best-in-category technologies.
WP Engine leads the WordPress Web Content Management (WCM) industry with the most customers within the top 100,00 most trafficked sites, as ranked by Alexa*. Every day, five percent of the web visits a WP Engine powered experience, uniquely positioning the company to deliver on the promise of its WordPress Digital Experience Platform and empower businesses of all sizes to win online, protect their brand, and grow their business.
“We sit at the intersection of innovation and service, which means we understand the evolving needs of the connected consumer and the need for rich, engaging digital experiences,” said Heather Brunner, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of WP Engine. “These global interactions at scale represent an opportunity for brands to tell their story across any digital touchpoint with the creative agility to do it well, the intelligence to know how and why their customers are engaging with them, and consistently deliver real economic impact.”
Customer Perspectives
“Moving to WordPress has given us the flexibility to install plugins that directly solve a lot of the problems our team has faced in front-end development. The platform is one of the most popular CMS in the market for good reason,” said Arya Ahmadi, Managing Editor of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks’ Mavs.com. “Now we have the ability to serve our content securely, increase page rankings and display our video content directly through social platforms like Twitter cards, Google AMP and Facebook instant articles. Pixel Jar and WP Engine are two companies we’re lucky to call our partners. We’re proud of our Mavs.com and wouldn’t be where we are today without the true heroes behind the scenes!”
“One of the first things we tell our clients is that using WordPress doesn’t constrain the design opportunities, it enhances them. We often have a short window to get client campaigns together, so it’s nice that WordPress speeds up the task, integrates with many other third-party tools and doesn’t compromise what’s possible creatively,” said Isabel Kantor, Senior Technology Director at R/GA. “WP Engine’s platform takes the guesswork out of WordPress allowing us to focus on building both innovative technology solutions and brand stories that engage and captivate consumers.”

Some of the biggest concerns for digital marketers and developers are knowing that the business sites they create are agile, intelligent, secure and that support is available 24/7 from the largest customer experience team of experts in WordPress today. WP Engine has strategic relationships with trusted brands like Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver the agility, performance, intelligence and integrations at scale with cloud coverage around the globe that enables enterprise-grade performance for customers of all sizes.
