Hosting 100,000+ WordPress sites? Cut your infrastructure costs by $500,000.
Accelerate WordPress search at scale with Meilisearch, optimize performance and reduce strain on your infrastructure.
These efficiencies directly lower operating costs, increase density per server, and improve reliability for your customers.
MaplePress helps you reduce WordPress hosting costs, improve performance, and enhance security across your infrastructure. Here’s how:
Proven Efficiency Gains
Independent benchmarks consistently show that moving WordPress search off MySQL reduces CPU load by 85–95%. MaplePress achieves this while remaining drop-in compatible with existing sites.
Immediate ROI at Scale
Hosting 100,000 WordPress sites would cost upwards of $2 million per year. A 25% efficiency gain across your network of sites translates to approximately $500,000+ in savings per 100,000 sites.
Modern Architecture
Built in Golang for speed, powered by Meilisearch for blazing-fast search, and backed by Cassandra for distributed scalability. MaplePress delivers <50ms search responses while handling millions of indexed documents and concurrent queries – without degrading performance.
Future Ready & Secure
MaplePress isolates search workloads from the database layer, preventing malicious or runaway queries from impacting other tenants improving security and resilience.
Zero Disruption
MaplePress installs as a lightweight service and API endpoint. No site migrations. No plugin conflicts. Just faster, leaner, safer WordPress search — instantly.
Best in Class
By delivering visibly faster search, improved uptime stability, and lower operating costs, hosts can retain customers longer, and scale profitably without scaling costs.
The Problem: MySQL Was Never Built for WordPress Search
WordPress search runs on MySQL’s LIKE queries — a method designed for small, relational lookups, not high-volume text search.
As sites grow, every search request triggers full table scans across wp_posts, consuming CPU, I/O, and memory at an exponential rate.
For hosting providers managing tens of thousands of WordPress sites, this becomes a hidden tax:
- Spikes in CPU usage from search queries
- Resource exhaustion during peak traffic
- Inconsistent performance across tenants
- Higher hardware costs just to maintain stability
In short, MySQL search doesn’t scale — and hosts pay the price in wasted capacity, slower response times, and rising infrastructure costs.
The Solution: Offload WordPress Search with MaplePress
MaplePress replaces WordPress’s native search layer with Meilisearch — an open-source, lightning-fast search engine — orchestrated through our Golang-based infrastructure and backed by Cassandra for distributed data storage. This architecture offloads the most resource-intensive part of WordPress — search — from MySQL entirely, leveraging Meilisearch’s typo-tolerant, AI-powered relevance ranking to deliver an effective, scalable solution.
Here’s what that means for hosting providers:
- Up to 15× faster search queries with consistent low latency
- Up to 93% reduction in per-query CPU load
- 20–30% more capacity on existing hardware
- No new servers, no downtime, no code rewrites
- Built-in typo tolerance and relevance ranking powered by Meilisearch
MaplePress runs alongside your current stack — integrating seamlessly while lowering load and stabilizing your shared hosting environment.
Why Meilisearch Powers MaplePress
Unlike Elasticsearch which requires extensive configuration and resources, Meilisearch provides enterprise-grade search capabilities out-of-the-box with minimal overhead. Meilisearch delivers: – Sub-50ms search responses (10x faster than MySQL) – 80% less memory usage than Elasticsearch – Automatic typo tolerance and synonym support – AI-powered relevance ranking without manual tuning – Multi-language support with built-in tokenizers – Zero-downtime reindexing capabilities
