First Performance Intelligence Solution, Page Performance, Offers Brands & Agencies Deeper Visibility, Actionable Insights To Improve Site Speed<\/i><\/p>\n

May 24, 2016 — Austin, Texas<\/b> \u2013 WP Engine<\/a>, a company that powers amazing digital experiences for websites and applications built on WordPress, today announced the introduction of Page Performance<\/a>, which will focus on delivering actionable insights for websites across its 47,000 customers and agency partners in 133 countries. With this product launch, WP Engine becomes the first managed platform for WordPress to offer a web page speed performance tool integrated into the user dashboard through which customers can quickly and dramatically improve the speed of their websites.<\/p>\n

Website owners have long asked for a data-driven look into all aspects of a website\u2019s performance along with optimization recommendations. WP Engine Performance Intelligence is focused around this market opportunity and Page Performance is its first solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cWP Engine Performance Intelligence is our ongoing commitment to develop tools and insights to help our customers win online,\u201d said Heather Brunner, CEO of WP Engine. \u201cA website\u2019s speed affects nearly every metric a brand or agency might care about from page views to conversion rates. Our Page Performance product gives you specific recommendations to do just that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe managed platform for WordPress space has grown significantly over the last few years, with increasing adoption of WordPress among enterprises,\u201d said Liam Eagle, senior analyst at 451 Research. \u201cAs WordPress pushes deeper into the enterprise, and consequently more complex sites, the need for services that optimize the performance of those sites has grown. With the launch of Page Performance, WP Engine becomes the first managed platform for WordPress to offer a product that addresses this need with a web page speed performance tool integrated into the user dashboard, enabling customers to quickly make adjustments that improve the performance of their sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a recent study,* a one-second delay in page load time results in 11 percent fewer page views; a 16 percent decrease in customer satisfaction; and a 7 percent drop in conversion, proving that site performance can make or break a brand and a customer\u2019s digital experience. The intersection of instant gratification and the demand for compelling content has site owners and brands under immense pressure to deliver a fast and engaging online experience. Failure to do so impacts not only the brand’s reputation, but also the bottom line.<\/p>\n

WP Engine\u2019s Page Performance gives site owners a detailed site speed report and actionable recommendations to solve for technical issues impacting digital business. With faster sites, they can reduce bounce rates, improve Google rankings, and increase visitor retention and boost conversions, while also improving customer satisfaction and protecting brand reputations.<\/p>\n
