Kinsta

From our entire team, thank you! 💙 Kinsta has officially secured the #1 spot in G2's 2026 Best Software Awards for Web Hosting! 🏆 The momentum continues in the newly released Summer 2026 Reports, where we just took home a clean sweep of specialized honors. #G2Awards

Our operations and finance teams work closely together every day, but usually from behind screens. 💻💼 The crew recently brought their collaboration offline for a meetup in #Lisbon to sync up on projects and enjoy everything the city has to offer! #Kinsta #CompanyCulture

Meet the faces behind Kinsta’s EMEA marketing and sales teams! The crew recently spent some quality time together in Lison, Portugal. Nothing beats the joy of sharing a meal, having a laugh, and just being together in the same room. #KinstaTeam #RemoteWork

Getting these awards means the world to us, but making your day-to-day easier is the real win. 🏆 Thank you for sharing your Kinsta stories on G2 and helping us earn these Summer 2026 wins! #ManagedHosting #G2Awards

This month, our distributed Technology Team traded their home offices for #Lisbon! While we love remote work, once a year we trade Slack channels for real-world high-fives to collaborate, align our vision, and celebrate the brilliant crew behind our tech. #RemoteWork #GlobalTeam

AI traffic is exploding, and deciding whether to block or allow is harder than it looks. Missed our live discussion? We broke down 10 billion requests from Kinsta’s 2026 report to give you a clear framework on how to handle it. Watch the replay: ow.ly/kkWU50Ziq9y

We know how busy life is, so it blows us away when you take the time to share your Kinsta stories. 🥺 We’re incredibly proud of these badges, but even more grateful for the 1,400+ reviews and the trust behind them. We wouldn't be here without you! #ManagedHosting #G2Awards

Last week at @DigitalSummits Denver we got to see our own Roger Williams take the stage! 🚀 ​His core message: don't get so caught up in new AI tools that you forget the basics like a fast website and a solid CMS. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat with our team!

Most site owners can't confidently answer this question. Join us live on June 24 at 11:00 EST to change that. 🦾 ➡️ ow.ly/COJi50Z5kVE

Bot traffic is getting harder to make sense of. Join us on June 24 for a free live discussion of Kinsta’s bot traffic insights report, based on more than 10 billion requests across WordPress sites. Bring your questions for the live Q&A. Register here: ow.ly/ZvrU50ZbT9s

Different sites need different bot rules. Start with the site type. Set the priority. Configure from there. The full decision framework walks through it step by step ⬇️ ow.ly/4TiW50Z5mVw

One of our most requested features is here! Bot Protection is now live in MyKinsta. 🎉 Get more control over which bots reach your site, how AI crawlers treat your content, and which traffic is worth keeping. Check it out ⬇️ ow.ly/wRb850Z3OMa

We dug into 10 billion requests and found something pretty hard to ignore: 1 in 31 site visits is now an AI bot. A year ago, it was 1 in 200. Some hit expensive pages, get stuck in loops, and add costs without you noticing. Read the report: ow.ly/NTxl50Z2N6I

Did you miss Marcel's talk at #WCEU2026? Hear why investing back into open-source software is an essential business strategy, not just a goodwill gesture. Discover how we can better support the contributors who keep #WordPress running: youtu.be/QHaVkdTN9yI?si… #OpenSource #WCEU

Most bot policies are written once and forgotten. But AI crawler traffic has changed fast. If your rules were set in 2023 or early 2024, they were built for a different web. Know what to allow, restrict, and update. ⬇️ ow.ly/QG9w50Z9GKa

Bot traffic is getting weird fast. AI crawlers can be useful, noisy, or disruptive. A traffic spike alone won’t always tell you which is which. We’re talking through what changed and how to decide what to block, allow, or manage. Register: ow.ly/g6FU50Z9HpG

At #WCEU , Kinsta’s Marcel Bootsman warned that contributor burnout is the #1 threat to #WordPress. Supporting open source is strategic risk management. Sponsor the contributors you rely on! Kinsta pledges 282 paid hours/wk & sponsors 27 contributors. #OpenSource

WooCommerce stores have a different bot problem. Bots do not just hit cached pages. They hit carts, checkout, filters, and add-to-cart endpoints, triggering PHP and database work every time. The fix is not blocking everything. It is path-level control. More in the report ⬇️

When bot traffic spikes, blocking everything feels tempting. But not all bots are the problem. Googlebot drives discoverability. Some AI crawlers drive zero referral traffic. The best move? Control which bots access which parts of your site. More here ⬇️ ow.ly/rouU50Z3OpC

That’s a wrap on WordCamp Europe 2026 in Kraków! A massive thank you to our awesome team who showed up for Kinsta, and to everyone in the community who stopped by our booth to make this week so incredible! 🇵🇱 #WordCampEurope #WCEU @WCEurope
