Case Study: Taproot achieves reliable uptime and $47,000/year in savings with WP Engine

The WP Engine Digital Experience Platform helps Taproot maintain uptime resulting in monetary, infrastructure and time savings

Taproot is a creative agency that builds digital experiences for clients like The Federalist. After recurring server outages and scaling failures on their previous host—forcing two-to-three weekly emergency fixes and even a 24-hour blackout that cost time, money and personal hardship—Taproot needed a reliable, scalable platform to protect its clients and reclaim staff time.

Taproot migrated to WP Engine’s Digital Experience Platform, leveraging automated migrations, SSH Gateway access, Evercache caching and responsive support to streamline operations and deployments. The move delivered roughly $47,000 per year in manpower and infrastructure savings, about 76% lower monthly platform costs, and the ability to absorb major traffic spikes without downtime—restoring performance and peace of mind.
