Case Study: Money Forward achieves 7x faster website speed with Kinsta

Money Forward speeds up WP site by 7X simply by moving to Kinsta

Money Forward, a fintech company with 1,000+ employees, needed a better way to manage a growing number of WordPress media sites across departments and server environments. Their existing setup was becoming disorganized and resource-intensive, pulling focus from core business work and causing costly downtime issues.

Kinsta provided managed WordPress hosting with features like IP-based restrictions, HTTP basic authentication, CDN, TLS certificate management, migration support, and flexible reverse proxy configuration. After moving to Kinsta, Money Forward could manage sites more easily in MyKinsta and saw its website speed improve 7x, with Google Analytics showing average load time drop from 0.89s to 0.12s and no further performance issues during peak seasons.
