At ihost, we’ve just launched our newly redesigned frontend website, completely powered by WordPress—but there’s a twist: we’re running it on the exact same Next-Generation WordPress Cloud Hosting we offer our customers. Why? Because we believe the best way to demonstrate how incredibly fast, secure, and reliable our hosting is, is to use it ourselves.
Why WordPress?
WordPress is trusted by millions worldwide for unmatched flexibility and ease-of-use. By using it ourselves, we can clearly demonstrate its extraordinary performance on our optimized servers. You’ll see firsthand that WordPress can deliver outstanding speed and reliability when hosted properly—exactly as it does for our own website.
Say Goodbye to Heavy Plugins
With ihost, your WordPress site stays lightweight and fast. Our own (this) frontend website uses Hello Elementor theme and just three essential plugins:
- Elementor – a powerful yet simple page builder for quick and responsive website designs.
- Google Site Kit – an easy integration of crucial Google analytics right into your WordPress dashboard.
- WP Consent API – Consent Level API to read and register the current consent level for cookie management and improving compliance with privacy laws.
You can confidently leave behind heavy optimization plugins like W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, WP Smush, Lazy Loading, EWWW Image Optimizer, and Autoptimize. These plugins often slow down your website and interfere with caching, causing a cache MISS when paired with a CDN.
Fewer plugins means faster PHP execution—and faster WordPress websites.
StackCache: Built-in, Lightweight & Efficient
Our secret is the built-in StackCache MU-plugin, automatically included in all ihost WordPress Cloud Hosting packages. StackCache seamlessly connects your WordPress site directly with our servers—no installation needed, no complicated setup, just pure speed. Coupled with our built-in Edge Caching (ihostCDN), your visitors will enjoy lightning-fast page loads from anywhere in the world.
Website Acceleration Suite: Automated Performance
At ihost, we handle optimization effortlessly with our built-in Website Acceleration Suite. This advanced module automatically implements best practices such as:
- Image optimization
- JavaScript minification
- CSS combination
These built-in optimizations significantly improve your website load times without needing additional plugins or manual tweaks, freeing you to focus on creating great content and growing your business.
