Case Study: Contact Form 7 cuts hosting costs by 66% and speeds up site with Kinsta
A Kinsta Case Study
Contact Form 7 cuts hosting costs by 66%, speeds up site for over 200M users
Contact Form 7, a WordPress plugin with over 200 million downloads, faced soaring hosting costs and performance issues. After their previous host, WP Engine, flagged them for high traffic on a shared server and forced a costly plan upgrade, the financial strain became unsustainable. This prompted founder Takayuki Miyoshi to seek an alternative to WP Engine's service.
The vendor, Kinsta, provided a managed hosting solution and expertly handled the migration process. By switching to Kinsta, Contact Form 7 achieved a 66% reduction in annual hosting costs, from $6,624 to $2,250. The site's performance also significantly improved, with noticeable speed increases for its global user base, all while benefiting from Kinsta's non-shared infrastructure.
