Welcome to Interview 73 of the WP Plugins A to Z podcast, where we’re diving into “Boost Your WordPress Speed: with Quintin Russ on PHP Vitals and Developer-First Hosting.”

Plugin reviewed on show episode 652 starting at about 29min mark

Joining us today is Quintin Russ, the co-founder and Technical Director of Webslice, a powerhouse in containerized hosting for PHP developers worldwide, alongside sister companies SiteHost and MyHost serving New Zealand’s web landscape since 2004.
With a development background that’s evolved into mastering a vast array of technologies—while managing enough infrastructure to keep him up at all hours—Quintin is a true tech generalist and advocate for transparency in hosting.
We’ll explore his journey from web dev roots to solar-powered data centers, unpack the innovative PHP Vitals plugin that benchmarks your host’s performance in minutes to reveal if your site’s slowness is a hosting issue or something else, and share tips on optimizing WordPress for speed, scalability, and sustainability.
Whether you’re troubleshooting sluggish sites, scouting better hosting, or just geeking out on PHP trends, Quintin’s insights promise to supercharge your WordPress arsenal—let’s get started!

Flexible, fast web hosting for busy developers

How much time and energy could you save if you never had to worry about hosting again?

Bio for: Quintin Russ

Quintin Russ co-founded a web hosting company in 2004, and he’s never looked back. He has a development background and has become an expert in more technologies than we have room to list. Today he runs enough infrastructure to ensure that he rarely gets a good night’s sleep, but he still happily gets up at 3am to look after our customers’ servers. The company has grown to include Webslice, which offers containerized hosting for PHP developers around the world and also has a serverless product in the works, and two sister companies that focus on Australia and New Zealand. MyHost offers hosting and domains to small-to-medium businesses and SiteHost caters to larger agencies and enterprises. In the moments Quintin spends away from all this infrastructure, he plays football and squash.
