Case Study: Pixel Jar achieves 12% faster page speed, 13% higher retention and 10% more revenue with WP Engine

Maximizing Business Results with Page Performance

Pixel Jar is a Southern California boutique web development firm specializing in custom WordPress projects for global clients, from the Dallas Mavs to Hallmark. Their challenge was meeting strict site-speed and user-experience requirements: rich media, plugins, and heavy code were slowing pages and reducing conversions, pageviews, and customer satisfaction.

Using WP Engine’s User Portal and Page Performance tools, Pixel Jar schedules recurring tests on key URLs, monitors regressions, and implements targeted optimizations (leaner code, asset improvements) as part of client planning. The effort produced measurable gains: a 12% improvement in page speed, roughly 13% more visitors retained, and a 10% increase in revenue, and the agency plans to expand the tool’s use across more client sites.
