SSH connection slow.

Neven Jevtic

As someone who uses SSH a lot, I find connecting to WP Engine hosted sites painfully slow.
Are there ways I can improve the speed, help you with diagnostics data, or find out of that's on your list of near-future improvements?
Thanks,
Neven

Hi Neven! Ilona from the WPE team here. We really appreciate you offering to help with this.
We are indeed planning to improve SSH speeds in the near future. To make sure we hit the mark, I’d love to hear more about your daily experience and where the friction points are for you.
Would you be free for a quick chat in January to discuss your experience with SSHG and with WP Engine in general?
