Case Study: Advanced Micro Devices achieves a faster, more reliable, and secure Developer Central site with WP Engine

AMD uses WP Engine to Dramatically Improve Reliability, Speed, and Security of its Developer Outreach Site

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is a global semiconductor company whose Developer Central site (developer.amd.com) supports 260,000 monthly visitors and a worldwide developer community. The site was hampered by performance and uptime problems, a CDN file-size limit that forced CDN removal and slow global downloads, and the overhead and security risk of in‑house WordPress management and rising hosting costs.

AMD migrated Developer Central to WP Engine’s managed WordPress platform, gaining a global CDN, EverCache performance, enterprise-scale storage and traffic capacity, 24x7 support, proactive security updates, and backups. The result: faster global page loads, hosting costs cut roughly in half, flawless handling of a fivefold surge in traffic and downloads, and a more productive team freed from site maintenance and firefighting.
