Why Customers Switch to Levamo

Performance, security, and support that Pagely can't match.

LiteSpeed vs NGINX/OpenResty

Levamo runs LiteSpeed with built-in page caching and HTTP/3. Pagely uses NGINX/OpenResty on AWS without built-in page caching or HTTP/3 support.

Real Human Support, 24/7

Every Levamo plan includes 24/7 live chat with WordPress experts who handle the technical work for you, not scripted first-line agents.

Auto-Scaling PHP Workers

Levamo scales PHP workers automatically with your traffic. Pagely requires manual VPS resizing through support with at least 1 hour notice and up to 5 minutes of downtime.

As the team behind Duplicator, we work with every major WordPress hosting environment all the time. When we switched Duplicator.com to Levamo, the performance gains were immediately obvious. Our site is significantly faster, and we're seeing the benefits across the board.

After 20 years in web development, I have tried most of the well-known hosting companies. Levamo is the perfect solution for dynamic WordPress sites. The performance is incomparable to other hosting services. The support has been amazing. They respond to chats quickly at all hours of the day.

For Easy Digital Downloads, the move to Levamo wasn't just a hosting change. It was removing a ceiling on what we could do and how fast we could move. Our time to first byte was cut in half, if not more, right out of the gate. That told us the underlying infrastructure was genuinely performant.

I've been building and maintaining websites for my various businesses for about 25 years. The support team is fantastic, polite, responsive, and most of all, knowledgable in all aspects of getting my sites up and running. My sites are also lightening fast.

I run a digital agency and have used a lot of different hosting setups for different WordPress sites. Levamo is by far the best. It's a great server for complex websites, and their support is top-notch.

Levamo has massively benefited me as I run a community site which makes my platform feel on par with other large well known social platforms. I love how affordable they are and now i have seen the benefts, if they were double the price I would pay it.

Does Levamo offer a free trial?

How does Levamo pricing compare to Pagely?

Pagely's plans start at $99/month for their StartPress tier and scale up to $2,500+ for dedicated VPS resources. Levamo offers comparable or better performance at significantly lower price points, with isolated containers and auto-scaling included on every plan.

What CDN does Levamo use vs Pagely?

Levamo includes Cloudflare's Enterprise-grade CDN with integrated WAF, DDoS mitigation, and bot management on every plan. Pagely uses Amazon CloudFront through their PressCDN product with AWS Shield Standard for basic DDoS protection, but it lacks the integrated WAF and bot management included with Cloudflare's Enterprise-grade CDN.

Absolutely. Start a free trial, test your site on Levamo, and only switch DNS when you're satisfied. Keep Pagely running until you're ready.
