WPMytics is an independent publication covering the WordPress ecosystem through news, tutorials, reviews, and original data research. You come here for two things: clear answers to real WordPress problems, and numbers you cannot find anywhere else.
WPMytics is published by MeritWP LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company.
What makes us different
Most WordPress publications tell you what happened. We also tell you what the data says. Every week, our team ships original research on plugin market share, hosting performance, theme adoption, and ecosystem trends. No other WordPress publication makes data journalism a central pillar of its editorial mix.
That focus shapes every article we publish. When we review a hosting provider, we include real performance tests. When we cover a plugin release, we check actual installation numbers. When an industry story breaks, we look at the data before we form an opinion.
Who we write for
Our readers are bloggers, content creators, small agencies, and publishers who run WordPress sites at an intermediate technical level. You know your way around the admin dashboard. You can edit a child theme without breaking it. You want answers that respect your time and do not talk down to you.
If you are looking for developer-only API documentation, you will find better resources elsewhere. If you are looking for basic “what is WordPress” explainers, the same is true. WPMytics sits in the middle: practical, analytical, and built for people who publish for a living.
Our three editorial pillars
- News & Analysis. Core updates, plugin releases, industry moves, and security disclosures, filtered for what actually matters to publishers.
- Tutorials & Reviews. Step-by-step guides and honest reviews of plugins, themes, hosts, and tools. We explain what works, what does not, and who each tool is for.
- Data Reports. Original research using public datasets (WordPress.org directories, BuiltWith, W3Techs, HTTP Archive, CrUX) and our own benchmark tests. Methodology is always published alongside findings.
Our team
WPMytics is written and maintained by a small team of writers and analysts with direct experience running WordPress sites, tracking plugin markets, and testing hosting performance.
Marcus Teo: Technical SEO & Performance
Marcus covers technical SEO, Core Web Vitals, and site performance. He has spent the last eight years optimizing WordPress sites for speed, from shared hosting setups to enterprise publishing platforms. His tutorials focus on changes you can make in under an hour that move real metrics. You will find his work in Tutorials, Performance, and SEO.
Sofia Andrade: Content Strategy & Reviews
Sofia leads our reviews and comparison coverage, with a focus on WooCommerce and content-led sites. She has built and sold two niche publishing businesses and reviews tools the way a publisher actually uses them, not the way a vendor pitches them. You will find her work in Reviews, Comparisons, and WooCommerce.
Lena Kovac: Security, AI Tools & Automation
Lena tracks the security side of the WordPress ecosystem: vulnerability disclosures, plugin abandonment, and the AI tooling landscape. Her writing translates CVE advisories into plain language and explains what site owners should actually do about them. You will find her work in Data Reports, Security, and WooCommerce.
Elena Vasquez: Community, Industry & Governance
Elena covers the WordPress community and the industry stories that shape it: governance disputes, M&A deals, internationalization trends, and the lawsuits that set precedent for the ecosystem. Her writing leans measured and institutional, with primary sourcing and room for both sides to speak. You will find her work in News, Governance, and Internationalization.
Theo Nakamura: Data & Industry Analysis
Theo runs our data desk. He designs the methodology behind our plugin market share reports, hosting benchmarks, and ecosystem studies, and he writes the quarterly industry analysis pieces that explain where WordPress is headed. His background combines data journalism with a decade of work inside the WordPress community. You will find his work in News, Data Reports, and Industry Analysis.
Editorial independence
We publish affiliate links and display advertising, and we are transparent about both. Affiliate relationships never influence which products we cover or how we rate them. If a plugin we recommend has an affiliate program, you will see a disclosure. If it does not, we still cover it when it earns coverage on merit. Our full approach is in our Editorial Standards and Affiliate Disclosure.
Contact and corrections
Tips, pitches, data-set suggestions, and correction requests are always welcome. Reach the team at [email protected] or through our Contact page. We acknowledge corrections within 48 hours and update articles with a visible correction note when facts change.
