The latest comment calls the website “amateurish”:
“Also the check, if a domain is hosted by WPE, is quite amateurish.

missing dot at beginning for some
only checks subdomains
I’m not sure what the goal of this website is and what Matt tries to achieve. But the community is getting increasingly annoyed of such unprofessional behavior of Matt and in the security community some also think about dropping 0days for WordPress and related plugins / themes due to this whole situation.
The feedback under the tweet from the official WordPress account and in the reddit community shows, what most of us think.
The whole situation hurts everyone more than needed.”

What Is The Point Of The Website?
It’s unclear what the purpose of the WP Engine Tracker website is other than the stated purpose of tracking sites that have left WP Engine.
The website draws attention to the specific domains of websites that have moved away from WP Engine but what purpose does that serve? Is the purpose is to draw attention to sites that could be solicited to move away from WP Engine? If so, there’s nothing on the website that encourages that use of the information. The WP Engine Tracker website is silent about what site visitors should do with the data.
