About

Priya ran DevOps for a 50-person SaaS startup before pivoting to hosting journalism, which means she's the rare reviewer who can explain why your WooCommerce store is slow in terms of PHP worker processes and OPcache hit rates, not just 'try a caching plugin.' She maintains live WordPress and WooCommerce test sites on every hosting provider HostHive covers — real sites with real plugins, real themes, and real product catalogs that break in real ways. Her favorite review metric is 'time to first sale' — how fast a new WooCommerce store can process its first transaction after signup. She's also the person who discovered that three major hosts were running outdated PHP versions on their 'optimized WordPress' plans.
