In addition to automatic backups, website staging, CDNs, and proactive security features, these two excellent WordPress hosts provide all of the managed hosting functionality that serious WordPress websites should have.<\/p>\n<p>While you great features with both of these hosts, Kinsta gets the slight advantage in this category based on their Edge Caching, greater selection of data centers, and DevKinsta for local development.<\/p>\n<h2>Kinsta vs WP Engine:  Speed and Performance<\/h2>\n<p>Website speed and performance is outstanding with both Kinsta and WP Engine.  Both our separate testing and my personal experience using WP Engine and Kinsta produced similar results.  Kinsta and WP Engine provide excellent website speeds and page loading times.  <\/p>\n<p>Since it\u2019s such a close call here, we have to take a deeper look at the test results data.  Kinsta has better page loading times with superior LCP and fully loaded page times.  Their core web vitals are also better.  <\/p>\n<p>So, while this category is close, Kinsta gets the advantage here.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some sample speed test results from GTmetrix:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Kinsta-Speed-Test-Results.jpg\" alt=\"Kinsta Speed Test Results\" width=\"1024\" height=\"362\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Kinsta-Speed-Test-Results.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Kinsta-Speed-Test-Results-300x106.jpg 300w, https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Kinsta-Speed-Test-Results-768x272.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/WP-Engine-Speed-Test-Results.jpg\" alt=\"WP Engine Speed Test Results\" width=\"1024\" height=\"440\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/WP-Engine-Speed-Test-Results.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/WP-Engine-Speed-Test-Results-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/WP-Engine-Speed-Test-Results-768x330.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Kinsta vs WP Engine:  Website Staging<\/h2>\n<p>Both Kinsta and WP Engine do an outstanding job with their website staging.  Staging is available in all of the hosting plans, and both function as one-click operations that let you easily create a staging environment and then copy your website changes back to your live site.  This category is a tie\u2014totally even.<\/p>\n<h2>Kinsta vs WP Engine:  Data Backup<\/h2>\n<p>WP Engine provides daily automatic backups and lets you restore from your last 30 backup copies.  You can also perform manual snapshot backup whenever you want to.  Kinsta also includes daily automated backups, but you are limited to the last 14 backup copies for restores (unless you pay for additional backup services).  Kinsta also limits you to 5 manual backup copies (again unless you opt for additional services).<\/p>\n<p>One area where Kinsta does get an edge is that you do get automatic system backups when you perform tasks such as upgrading themes and plugins, etc.<\/p>\n<p>This category is very close, but here WP Engine gets a slight edge based on more data retention copies being included with your hosting plan.<\/p>\n<h2>Kinsta vs WP Engine:  Customer Support<\/h2>\n<p>WP Engine and Kinsta both offer 24\/7 expert WordPress customer support.  Again, here things are very close when comparing the two hosts.  I\u2019ve had great interactions with both support teams.  Live chat response times are very good, and the support staff at both Kinsta and WP Engine have been able to answer any questions and resolve issues promptly when needed.<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s ultra-close in this customer support comparison, Kinsta gets just a slight edge based on their consistent responsive live chat support.<\/p>\n<div class=\"one-half first\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/Kinsta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Kinsta-Logo-250.png\" alt=\"Kinsta\" width=\"250\" height=\"50\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18904\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/kinsta-review\/\" title=\"Kinsta\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kinsta<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Started Business:<\/strong>  2013<br \/>\n<strong>BBB Rating:<\/strong>  A+<br \/>\n<strong>Data Center Location:<\/strong>  US, CAN, EUR, ASIA, AUS, South America<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong>  $35 mo. &#8211; $1650 mo.<br \/>\n<strong>Unlimited Bandwidth:<\/strong>  No<br \/>\n<strong>Unlimited Storage:<\/strong>  No<br \/>\n<strong>Unlimited Email:<\/strong>  No<br \/>\n<strong>Host Multiple Domains:<\/strong>  Yes (Except Starter Plan)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hosting Interface:<\/strong>  Kinsta Dashboard<br \/>\n<strong>Server Uptime:<\/strong>  99.9%<br \/>\n<strong>Full Refund Period:<\/strong>  30 Days<br \/>\n<strong>Dedicated Hosting Available:<\/strong>  Yes<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantages of Choosing Kinsta:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Specialize in Upscale Managed Hosting<\/li>\n<li>Choose from 27 Different Data Centers<\/li>\n<li>High Performance Cloud Infrastructure<\/li>\n<li>Automatic Database Optimization<\/li>\n<li>Advanced Security<\/li>\n<li>Performance Monitoring Tool<\/li>\n<li>Server-Level Full Page Caching<\/li>\n<li>Includes Kinsta CDN<\/li>\n<li>Auto Wildcard SSL<\/li>\n<li>Analytics Reports<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/Kinsta\" title=\"Kinsta\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here for More Details on Kinsta<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"one-half\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/WPEngine\" title=\"WP Engine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/WP-Engine-Logo-New.png\" alt=\"WP Engine Logo New\" width=\"240\" height=\"82\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1510\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-engine-review\/\" title=\"WP Engine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>WP Engine<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Started Business:<\/strong>  2013<br \/>\n<strong>BBB Rating:<\/strong>  B+<br \/>\n<strong>Data Center Location:<\/strong>  U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong>  $20 mo. &#8211; $58 mo.
