Key Features

Site protection
Security lives at the infrastructure and edge layers–not with a plugin installed after the fact. WP Engine provides protection built for how your site runs, with security that keeps evolving right alongside the threats it’s built to stop.
Edge caching
Slow pages cost you visitors and rankings. Performance is easier to manage than ever with edge caching on by default and data to identify areas to optimize.
Caching and CDN
EverCache®, edge full page caching, and a global Cloudflare-powered CDN cut time to first byte 60-90% and server response time 50-90% .
Uptime SLA
With up to an 99.99% enhanced uptime SLA , your site stays up through your biggest launch days and viral moments.
Automated deployment
With seamless site duplication, rapid environment setup, and automated deployment, WP Engine empowers your team to ensuring a fast, collaborative, and resilient workflow.
Staging and Git
Test in staging, deploy with Git, and restore in one click. With 60-day backups, changes never put your live site at risk.
GitHub Actions deployment
Connect GitHub Actions to your workflow to automate deployments and cut out manual steps.
