Headless WordPress hosting for ~2k page marketing blog
Hi fellow nerds! ❤️
Moving a ~2k page, WordPress marketing blog to headless with an Astro front-end.
The site is currently hosted on https://wpengine.com/ but I'm not impressed with the number of bugs in their admin I've encountered in the first hours of use.
Are WPEngine any good? (I've encountered so many issues with their products)
What managed WP Hosting would you recommend for headless?
Ideally I'd rather a managed solution that will handle backups and updates for me (I don't want to be the one responsible for keeping a WP instance updated, secure, and online! 😬 )
Thanks! ❤️

they do nice things like migrate you for free
and they a nice a native mac app that will host a dev env database and let you make changes and do revets
sorry to plug my own thing here..... Also, May i suggest you use a free account on my product - https://fastmonitor.io - put your website in there and we'll track the page speed. Do this before the migration. After the migration you'll have a solid before and after comparison

thanks man, fast monitor looks cool too. Are you only measuring is 200 response + response time, or do you record CWV scores too?
hi @rob sorry it's been a couple days. We measure Page Speed Insights and response and respose time. CWV is kind of a panel that doesn't always show up if a page hasn't had traffic yet
