Transparency alternatives to WP Engine
Other Cloud hosting vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at WP Engine. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 34 that differ from WP Engine on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
WP Engine has 7 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Status page with history, Certifications named, No third-party tracking before consent, Named privacy contact. The column “Found there, not found at WP Engine” is the one that closes them.
