Case Study: OptinMonster achieves predictable, high-scale WordPress SaaS performance with Pagely

OptinMonster - Customer Case Study

OptinMonster, a WordPress‑powered SaaS and leader in lead‑generation and Exit‑Intent® technology, needed to pivot from a plugin to a full SaaS while continuing to use WordPress as its API and application framework. To handle millions of API requests and a dramatic expansion in traffic, OptinMonster engaged Pagely for application hosting and infrastructure (Pagely’s AWS‑backed hosting).

Pagely optimized caching (resulting in ~99.9% of requests served from cache), implemented custom cache purging for user edits, advised on API design, remediated transient overuse, and moved bandwidth hogs to Pagely’s built‑in CDN. As a result, OptinMonster now serves several billion impressions per month, can scale tens of millions of hits quickly and predictably during rapid customer growth, and runs smoothly around the clock thanks to Pagely.
