Case Study: Riot New Media Group (BookRiot) achieves improved site performance and seamless WordPress VPS migration with Pagely

Riot New Media Group - Customer Case Study

Riot New Media Group, publisher of BookRiot.com, was rapidly outgrowing its previous hosting environment and experiencing sluggish site performance. They needed better tooling and system-admin support to migrate content between development, staging, and production environments and to optimize workflows. Riot New Media Group enlisted Pagely for a white‑glove migration and managed WordPress hosting, including a VPS hosting plan and performance review.

Pagely migrated Riot New Media Group’s sites onto a VPS‑1 server with a 1TB PressCDN™ add‑on, provided a command‑line migration tool, and performed a code review with detailed reporting and optimization. The move, built on Pagely’s AWS infrastructure, eliminated the performance bottlenecks, streamlined data transfers and server synchronization, and gave Riot New Media Group scalable, managed hosting—with the team reporting markedly improved performance and smoother deployment workflows under Pagely’s support.
