Check out our MainWP Dashboard Hosting page for pricing and more information!

We’re pleased to announce our partnership with MainWP and becoming the first web host to automatically setup and install the MainWP Dashboard with WordPress! Our team has been working very closely with Dennis to ensure our WordPress environment is optimized for the MainWP Dashboard plugin.

At the time of this writing, MainWP has a 4.9 out of 5 stars rating and has generated over 1,100 user reviews in the WordPress.org marketplace. Additionally, there are over 9,000 active installations of the MainWP Dashboard and over 200,000 active installations of the MainWP Child plugin.

What is the MainWP Dashboard?

For those of you who are unfamiliar with MainWP, it’s a WordPress dashboard management plugin. When the MainWP Dashboard plugin is installed on a domain it allows you to connect Child sites to your Main WP Dashboard and the ability to update plugins and themes, backup your sites, and check for security issues.

Free and Premium MainWP Extensions

There is a handful of free extensions inside of the MainWP Dashboard you can also install. Some of these include:

  • MainWP Advanced Uptime Monitor
  • MainWP BlogVault Backup Extension
  • MainWP UpdraftPlus Extension
  • MainWP Clean and Lock Extension
  • MainWP WooCommerce Shortcuts Extension

Even though MainWP Dashboard is a free plugin, there are other extensions available for purchase as well. These extensions allow you to extend the functionality of the core plugin features. Some of the MainWP paid extensions include:

  • MainWP Article Uploader Extension
  • MainWP Branding Extension
  • MainWP Broken Links Checker Extension
  • MainWP Client Reports Extension

We strongly encourage you to check out a full list of extensions available for MainWP. The extensions are categorized on the MainWP site to make it easy for you to find what you may be looking for. See the full list of MainWP Extensions here.

MainWP Performance Results on PeoplesHost

To ensure our shared hosting environment was suitable for MainWP, Dennis had Luke Cavanagh, a WordPress Performance Engineer run tests on a live environment.

Luke tested the back-end with 100 Child sites connected to the MainWP Dashboard. These Child sites were on a separate server. Syncing time was tested, uploading 3 plugins and updating the three plugins (300 uploads and updates). The three plugins are Akismet, If Menu and Contact Form 7.

Here are the results of those tests (taken from the blog post on MainWP’s site):

Default MainWP Settings Performance Results

  • Syncing 100 sites: 2 Min 54 seconds
  • 3 Plugins Installed and Activated (300 installations): 2 min 20 seconds
  • 3 Plugins Updated (300 updates): 4 min 19 seconds

High Speed MainWP Settings Performance Results

Dennis also wrote a blog post on how to speed up your MainWP Dashboard. Luke used those settings to perform another test:

  • Syncing 100 sites: 48 seconds (2 minutes 6 seconds faster)
  • 3 Plugins Installed and Activated (300 installations): 1 min 38 seconds (42 seconds faster)
  • 3 Plugins Updated (300 updates): 1 min 10 seconds (3 minutes 9 seconds faster)
