WPEngine Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is WP Engine best for?
WP Engine is ideal for businesses, agencies, developers, and content creators who need fast, secure, and scalable WordPress hosting. It’s overkill for simple or low-traffic sites but perfect for mission-critical projects.
Is WP Engine really fast?
Yes. In our tests, page loads were under 2 seconds even before optimization. With caching enabled, response times dropped below 100ms consistently—even under simulated traffic.
Does WP Engine include backups and SSL?
Absolutely. Daily automated backups (stored off-site and encrypted) and free SSL via Let’s Encrypt are included on all plans. Restoring from a backup took just minutes in our test.
