*📜 Plan description

Scale is presented for higher-capacity sites and portfolios, including 30 sites, an estimated 400,000 visits/month, 50 GB local storage, and 550 GB bandwidth/month. It includes all managed platform capabilities—global CDN with edge delivery, EverCache® page caching, daily & on-demand backups, SSL/SSH, dev/stage/prod, activity logs and advanced permissions, automated updates for WP/PHP/MySQL, plugin risk scans, and Layer 3+4 DDoS protections—plus 24/7 phone and chat support. Optional extensions highlighted on the page include Automated Plugin Updates with visual regression and rollbacks, Managed WAF + DDoS (Cloudflare) for an extra security layer, Page Speed Boost for 30+ site optimizations, and an eCommerce Package tailored to WooCommerce. The plan table indicates that additional sites can be purchased, and that “visits/mo” metrics are estimates; heavy spikes or dynamic apps should consult sales.

WP Engine underscores an “All plans include” list and a 60-day money-back guarantee, alongside tooling for teams and agencies such as transferable sites, flexible site copy, and a free migration plugin, ensuring a predictable, high-performance managed WordPress experience.

📄 Editorial Review

WP Engine is a managed WordPress specialist founded in 2010 in Austin, TX, built around a performance-first, security-minded platform and 24/7 expert support. They focus exclusively on WordPress (including WooCommerce and headless WordPress) and back the stack with partnerships (Google, Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Cloudflare, New Relic, BigCommerce). Their portfolio also includes Flywheel (acquired in 2019) which targets designers and agencies; as of 2025, Flywheel and WP Engine experiences are increasingly unified, with cross-linking between brands.

Their hosting emphasizes speed, security, and developer workflow. Performance features include EverCache® page caching, a global CDN, and containerized infrastructure. Security layers span managed WAF rules tailored to WordPress, Layer 3/4 DDoS mitigation, SSL by default, and audited controls (SOC 2 and ISO 27001). Sites ship with automatic daily backups and easy restores.

Plans are WordPress-only but cover a wide range of needs—from small businesses launching a first site to agencies managing dozens or hundreds of installs, to enterprises needing dedicated resources, advanced security, and compliance. Each account gets Dev/Stage/Prod environments, SSH gateway access, free SSL, a global CDN, Git-friendly workflows, and StudioPress themes (35+). Optional add-ons include GeoTarget, Smart Plugin Manager (automated, visual-tested updates), and Global Edge Security. Application monitoring via New Relic helps with performance insight and troubleshooting.

For agencies, specialized tiers (Agency Essentials/Plus/Pro) introduce higher site counts, bulk management, managed migrations, WooCommerce optimizations, and advisory services. Across all tiers, the operational promise is to "escape the complexity of self-hosting" with one platform, unified tooling, and human support.
