Project Overview

MediaMax Publishing manages a portfolio of 50+ WordPress sites serving over 10 million monthly pageviews. Their shared hosting environment was plagued by frequent downtime, slow load times, and recurring security breaches that were eroding reader trust and advertising revenue.

The Challenge

Running 50+ high-traffic WordPress sites on budget shared hosting was a ticking time bomb. MediaMax experienced weekly downtime events, had three security breaches in the past year, and was losing advertisers due to poor site performance metrics.

•50+ WordPress sites on overloaded shared hosting with weekly outages
•Three major security breaches in 12 months exposing user data
•Average page load times of 6-8 seconds driving away readers
•No automated backup system leading to data loss incidents
•SSL certificates expiring without notification on multiple sites

Our Solution

We migrated all sites to a managed hosting infrastructure with LiteSpeed web servers, CloudFlare CDN, enterprise-grade WAF protection, and automated daily backups with one-click restoration.

Provisioned dedicated LiteSpeed servers optimized for WordPress workloads
Deployed CloudFlare Enterprise CDN with global edge caching
Implemented Web Application Firewall with custom WordPress rulesets
Set up automated daily backups with 30-day retention and instant restoration
Configured Redis object caching for database query optimization

Security Incidents

Breaches since migration

“

We went from weekly outages and constant security scares to not even thinking about our hosting. Pages load in under a second now, and we haven't had a single security incident since the migration. Our advertisers have noticed the difference too.
