Overview

WP Engine Autoscale is a managed hosting platform for high-traffic WordPress® sites that automatically adjusts infrastructure to help maintain performance and availability during unpredictable traffic surges.

Autoscale is designed for high-traffic e-commerce, media, publishing, and brand sites whose teams use Git-based development or CI/CD workflows. It helps your team focus on the application and the customer experience instead of manually responding to traffic spikes.

  • Elastic web capacity: Automatically scales web resources to respond to changing traffic levels.
  • Database scaling: Adjusts database resources as application demand changes.
  • Container orchestration: Coordinates application resources across the platform in response to real-time demand.
  • Caching and CDN support: Helps deliver content efficiently to visitors across global regions.
  • High availability: Use redundant infrastructure designed to support continued availability during infrastructure disruptions.
  • Performance visibility: Review capacity and performance information to understand how the platform responds to demand.
  • Enterprise security controls: Use features such as a web application firewall, multi-factor authentication, and single sign-on where available for your account.
  • Deployment workflow: Use WP Engine Pipelines to manage code changes with Git-based deployment guardrails.
  • Managed operations: Benefit from continuous monitoring and automated platform maintenance.
