WP Engine was founded in 2010 in Austin, TX, to deliver the ease-of-use and open-source freedom of a managed platform offering speed, scalability, security, and support. The goal was to empower content creators and developers alike to focus on what they love, without the hassle of site crashes, slow page-load speeds, and complex security issues. Starting with 30 initial customers and a single product, the company grew to a team of over 1,000 globally distributed experts in WordPress and a catalog of industry-standard tools. Over the years, WP Engine has been dedicated to enhancing its services to better meet the needs of WordPress users, including the acquisition of Flywheel.
