WordPress.com parent company Automattic’s public campaign against third-party hosting service WP Engine appears to be taking its toll. The “WP Engine Tracker” reports over 16,000 sites have stopped using the platform since late September.

In response to the allegations, Automattic claims that WP Engine has failed to provide specific evidence of financial harm.
