WP Engine vs A2 Hosting

An Aberdeen Group study shows a 1-second page load delay causes a 7% decrease in conversion rates, 16% decrease in visitor satisfaction and 11% fewer page views. Don't fall victim to a slow host.

Our Turbo servers provide a drop-in Apache replacement that load pages up to 20X faster page loads compared to standard hosting. What makes our Turbo servers so fast?

• Fewer users per server
• A2 Optimized - Powered By APC/OPcache & Turbo Cache
• Uses less CPU and memory than Apache
• Handles connections faster and more efficiently
• Provides enhanced stability
