The ChallengeA growing food blog needs room to scale
Pinch of Yum is a recipe blog whose prior host couldn’t keep pace with its growth, which required manual server maintenance and eventually restricted access to its New Relic monitoring tool.
-
The SolutionGenesis and built-in performance monitoring
The move to WP Engine coincided with WP Engine’s acquisition of Genesis Framework, which Pinch of Yum had already used since 2012, plus Application Performance Monitoring powered by New Relic.
One of the biggest benefits for us is having real people at WP Engine. It’s not just cog-in-the-wheel support, but people who are available and helpful. We feel like part of the team.
Co-Founder, Pinch of Yum
