BookPress
A native WordPress engine serving existing sites faster than PHP
BookPress is a native engine replacing PHP-FPM and MySQL for WordPress sites, delivering over 4.5 times faster page performance while maintaining full theme
Overview
BookPress is a native implementation of WordPress core that replaces the PHP stack while maintaining full compatibility with existing WordPress sites, themes, plugins and administration interfaces.
The engine serves WooCommerce and Elementor pages over 4.5 times faster than a tuned WordPress installation, with pages responding in about a third of the time. Users can run BookPress on their own Linux servers using a compiled binary, with one-command import and export to preserve portability.

Frequently looked up
- Q1Is BookPress a WordPress fork?
- No. BookPress is an independent engine that implements WordPress behavior in native code including the theme system, admin interface and URLs. Content and themes remain portable in both directions.
- Q2How much faster is BookPress than WordPress?
- BookPress serves about 4.5 times more requests per second than a tuned WordPress setup on 4-vCPU Intel servers, and over 5 times on 4-vCPU ARM servers. On sites with no plugins, it serves approximately 112.9 times more requests per second on Intel servers and 125 times on ARM servers.
- Q3Which plugins are compatible with BookPress?
- BookPress checks every plugin before it runs and tells you which ones work. WooCommerce and Elementor are supported. A plugin that fails is returned with the file and line number. Heavy custom PHP is not yet supported.
- Q4How does migration to BookPress work?
- Migration uses a single command: wp bookpress import --dir=. The process leaves your WordPress and database unmodified. To revert to WordPress, use wp bookpress export --dir=. A site that goes in and back out is byte-identical.
- Q5Can I run BookPress on a shared or managed WordPress host?
- No. BookPress requires a machine you control where you can run a Linux binary. Shared or SFTP-only hosting plans do not provide this. Managed hosting on BookPress is planned.
