• Storage – Displays total account disk usage in gigabytes (GB). Includes all environments on the account (Production, Staging, and Development) and all transferable environments. Does not include WP Engine automated backups. Storage is updated weekly. Learn how to reduce storage usage here.
  • Storage for an individual environment can be viewed and refreshed on the Overview page, in the Storage section.
