24/7 award-winning support.
We know that emergencies can happen after 5pm, and during the holidays. WP Engine’s support gives you a live person to answer your live chat requests around the clock every hour, of every day, for every level of customer. Pagely limits support for different plans, and has limited support during the holidays.
Agency partner of choice.
WP Engine is stronger because of our Agency Partner Program. WP Engine and our 1000+ Agency Partners work together to create amazing digital experiences for our clients. MDC Partners, HUGE, R/GA, and Ogilvy are just a few of our global partners.
Enterprise-level experience.
WP Engine serves a broad customer base that includes SMB and Enterprise brands, both B2C and B2B. Our WordPress Digital Experience Platform provides performance, agility, intelligence and integrations to sites for enterprise brands including: AMD, SAP, MacMillian Media and CNBC Prime.
We are WordPress experts.
WP Engine employs multiple WordPress core contributors, including one full-time staffer who is hands on helping build Gutenberg, the future of WordPress page and post editing. WordPress powers 30% of the Internet and powers 60% of CMS driven websites. Our 500+ employees are working to make WordPress the CMS of choice.
24/7 award winning support.
Here at WP Engine, we’re 100% focused on WordPress. That means our platform is highly tuned to optimize for WordPress performance, and our support technicians undergo rigorous training to provide award-winning support at the application level. We have over 150 support technicians across US and Europe, available around the clock. To put it in perspective — our support team alone is 5x the size of Pagely’s entire company.
100% of our customers receive 24/7 technical support via live chat, and we offer phone and ticketing support. When we say 24/7 support, we don’t mean you can submit a ticket 24/7 to have it answered in a day or two. Over 90% of support chats are solved in that instance.
Our customers know good support when they see it. The WP Engine customer satisfaction score is industry leading. We have received three Stevie awards for our support services. We also ranked highest in support quality from the 2018 G2 Crowd Report.
Agency partner of choice.
Agencies come to WP Engine because we offer a suite of developer tools and best practice guides, allowing agencies to get started quickly, working the way they want to work.
For example, we offer Application Performance tools and an SSH Gateway that help agencies troubleshoot quickly and roll out new customer environments faster. Staging and development environments are available for every site you create at WP Engine.
We support these environments with customizable development workflows and integrations with GIT. At Pagely, staging is not a one-click solution, you have to follow their manual instructions to enable a staging site.
Enterprise-level experience.
Since our inception in 2010, WP Engine has managed to amass a powerful research and development organization including approximately 100 employees.
In the past few years, our research and development department has been hard at work building our intelligence suite of solutions which includes: Content Performance, Page Performance and Application Performance.
These solutions, were built in pursuit of our mission to help customers create the best digital experiences. Pagely’s latest improvement to their user experience was to provide users with one-click SSL implementation and a caching layer. WP Engine customers have benefited from these features for years.
The advantage of working with a provider like WP Engine, who invests in research and development, is that you will always have the latest performance and agility tools available, so you can push your business forward faster.
We are WordPress experts.
WP Engine regularly contributes to the WordPress core code. Our expertise is why our technology partners rely on us for consultative direction, when developing for WordPress.
We most recently we partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help develop a WordPress plugin for Amazon Polly. Amazon Polly is text-to-speech tool that automatically adds a spoken version of your text to your website. The resulting plugin is listed in the WordPress plugin repository, which makes it easier for developers to discover and integrate text-to-speech into their WordPress sites, and lowers the barrier of entry for usage for this API.
Extending the Amazon Polly API into a WordPress plugin opened it for use by the larger WordPress community. Our WordPress expertise has benefited our partners and customers by helping them build amazing digital experiences.
