Wordpress Management
Create and manage Wordpress sites with ease
As of early 2026, WordPress powers approximately 43% to 43.4% of all websites whose content management system (CMS) is known. This equates to over 810 million to 861 million websites globally, making it the most popular website-building platform with over 60% of the CMS market share. Its position as the leading content management system (CMS) is unmatched. To make your experience even smoother, we’ve streamlined the process of creating WordPress-focused accounts and integrated powerful management tools directly into the Control Panel.

WordPress X-Ray
Help super charge your website
We're often asked why a website might be running slowly. In many cases, the cause is related to scripts rather than factors within our direct control. To make it easier to identify what’s impacting performance, we’ve developed a diagnostic tool specifically for WordPress. This tool enables you to:
- View how long each plugin takes to load
- Measure the transfer time of static files to your browser
- Identify which database queries take the longest to execute
- Access detailed diagnostics, including hook timings and locations
- Graphical block view to diagnose which WordPress blocks are slowing down the site
- OP-cache integration to show which hooks/code are being cached
