WP Engine has had a significant impact on the worldwide internet. It has grown over 14 years from a web hosting platform to a premier force for WordPress™ technologies, offering Headless Platform, eCommerce solutions, agency solutions, tools and plugins, and website speed-boosting services, all of which enhance WordPress™ performance and overall experience. WP Engine now services +1.5M users and customers and powers +3M websites globally, with 8% of the web visiting a WP Engine-powered site daily. WP Engine’s contributions to WordPress have benefited the platform's growth, which is now utilized by 43% of websites across the web and 1.81% of the top 10 million sites.

A fundamental contributor to WP Engine’s success is its award-winning 24/7 Customer Support team, which comprises 200+ support service and WordPress™ specialists and leaders across eight countries. The support department is structured with specialized teams focusing on specific skill sets to address customer needs efficiently. Multiple queues are created based on customer plan levels, ensuring tailored service and quicker resolutions.

Additionally, the support team utilizes internally and externally facing AI-powered tools to handle routine customer inquiries and resolve more straightforward issues automatically. By doing so, they significantly reduce hold times and allow human support agents to focus on more complex, nuanced problems. This combination of AI efficiency and human expertise helps streamline operations, improve customer satisfaction, and optimize overall service delivery.

Customers can depend on this top-tier support to provide 75% of chats answered within 10 seconds, a 99% first-contact resolution rate, and a 96% customer satisfaction rate year-over-year. This stand-out performance has resulted in a 4.7 Trustpilot score and led world-renowned brands, including Dell, PetCo, Tiffany & Co, VMware, Warby Parker, Ticketmaster, FedEx, and the CMA Awards, to choose WP Engine.
