Case Study: LexBlog achieves 100% uptime and faster, more secure WordPress sites with WP Engine

Site Optimization Brings LexBlog to the Next Level

LexBlog is a WordPress-based publishing platform that helps law firms build and manage blogs; as it grew to a network of more than 1,000 sites it accumulated technical debt, suffered frequent downtime (often from DDoS), and faced security, performance, and scalability problems that threatened client reputations.

Oomph migrated and updated LexBlog to WP Engine’s managed WordPress platform, cleaned up the codebase, and implemented staging, backups, and monitoring; the result was halved load times, reduced security risk, reliable 24/7 support, and a move from recurring outages to 100% uptime (zero outages in May 2015) with capacity to handle spikes up to 30 million monthly pageviews.
