43% of web traffic isn't human. (In other words: you're probably paying to host bots. 🤖) Bots scrape your content, hammer your server, and quietly eat the bandwidth you're paying for. Kinsta includes Bot Protection on every plan, so you decide what gets in, what gets challenged, and what stays out without blocking the bots you do want, like AI search crawlers that keep you visible. You're in control with Kinsta's Bot Protection: https://ow.ly/hRLn50ZGmuk

"If I already use Cloudflare, do I still need Kinsta Bot Protection?" We heard this one a lot during our Bot Traffic Reality Check webinar. Our blog post looks at how the two work, what Kinsta Bot Protection handles for you, and whether it makes sense to run both at the same time. Take a look 👇 https://ow.ly/xXOA50ZERur

That’s a wrap on WordCamp US in Phoenix! 🌵 What an incredible week connecting with the WordPress community. From custom postcards created at our booth, to great conversations and a line up of incredible speakers, the entire event was unforgettable. Huge thank you to Chad H., Paul Jackse, Jessica Ropain, Roger Williams, and everyone who stopped by to chat about WordPress, and share their stories with us. Until next time! #WCUS2026 #WordCampUS #Kinsta

WordPress 7.1 is here 🚀 And it's a release worth paying attention to, especially if you care about site performance. The headline feature is Client-Side Media Processing: image resizing, format conversion, and thumbnail generation move from the server to the user's browser, powered by libvips compiled to WebAssembly. The payoff is real: less CPU/RAM load on the server, ~15% lighter images, and fewer PHP memory-exhaustion errors during upload. A few other highlights from this release: → Two new core blocks, Playlist and Tabs, plus the ability to mix editable blocks inside the Custom HTML block → Notes get rich text formatting, @ mentions, and inline comments — closer to tools like Google Docs or Figma → The admin toolbar is finally persistent across the post editor and Site Editor → A new public API for the SVG icon system, with REST endpoints to register, fetch, and manage icons → New design tools, including background gradients, minimum width, and text-shadow support in Global Styles → A new design token system with a ThemeProvider component, plus a meaningful expansion of the Abilities API This release pushes WordPress further on two fronts: raw performance and AI-ready extensibility. We go deep on all of it, with code examples and technical context in our full write-up on the Kinsta blog 👇 🔗 https://ow.ly/t36v50ZByfH #WordPress #WordPress71 #Hosting
