"Basically it’s like we hired another engineer. Now we have an extra set of eyes that are looking at it from that perspective, so that helps us a lot with availability and performance.”
“After we stabilized the code we wanted for the common theme (about a month of work), we were able to roll out 60 live sites with WordPress.com VIP in 3 weeks.”
“This powerful combination of content and analytics will push the industry forward at an accelerated pace.”
“My instructions to them were that they had to keep the logo because we weren’t going to redesign the logo, and the color red because that was the Post color, but everything else was negotiable.”
“That’s why I love using WordPress. Broadly, the platform is just so easy to use And it was really easy to train people on how to make simple edits.”
“Everything from understanding how your edge servers and your CDNs work to how your security teams work and your pen testing works—all of it gave me a sense of calmness to say, Okay. We have a partner who can just go handle this."
“I'm not sure what WordPress VIP is running, but it put up the absolute fastest scores that I've seen by a wide margin. They blew my test rig out of the water.”
“Since moving to WordPress VIP, we have observed an increase in monthly visits along with lightning-fast load times and near-zero downtime.”
“Some of our goals with the migration were to improve workflow efficiencies, empower site producers to make changes with a full preview of their impact, and cut the time it takes to build out a section of the site from days to hours.”
“The VIP platform is not static, it’s not like ‘Okay, this is what you get.’ Koen explains. “It’s more collaborative really. They understand what companies are looking for and why it’s important, and they try to look at ways they can address that within the platform, and that’s super encouraging.”
"This was one of our smoothest and most successful launches to date. Everyone who reviewed the site – both before and after launch – commented on the exceptional quality. This was down to an incredible effort led by you all, with a focus and dedication that was a joy to be involved in."
“By moving to WordPress.com VIP, we were able to not worry about downtime and whenever we push our code up for deployment they run an additional code check to make sure we’re not pushing anything up to production that could potentially be catastrophic. Things like security we no longer have to think about. So this allows our team to focus on building awesome stuff.”
“With Gutenberg, we were able to publish a breaking news story in two minutes versus five minutes in Classic [WordPress]. The main reason for this is the reusable blocks which have been renamed ‘The Game Changer.’ ”
“We have enormously improved our efficiency since we don't need additional teams or third parties to support code review or infrastructure. And because we need almost no back end development resources in-house, it’s almost all front end, today we have a smaller development team. We can focus on what matters, which is producing content and generating value. We don’t have to care about servers and backups for example, all of that is covered with VIP.”
“Certainly from my perspective, WordPress has been a great success — with WordPress VIP giving us that enterprise-level of assured quality on top.”
