Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Speed up your site with edge caching
A free, unlimited premium CDN with edge caching, image optimization and security tools, built right into your hosting.
- Premium CDN at no charge
- No limits or throttling
- Integrated and simple to use
A content delivery network keeps copies of your site close to your visitors, so pages load quickly wherever people are.
No usage limits
The premium CDN is free for every customer and has no caps on traffic and no throttling. It is built into your hosting, so there is little to set up.
Locations worldwide
CDN nodes sit in data centres across North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, the Middle East and South America, so your site is never far from its visitors.
Edge caching
Edge caching stores your content on servers around the world. Quicker access encourages visitors to stay and convert, and it can help your search rankings.
Tools included
These features improve speed, security and overall performance.
- Image optimization: Resizes, compresses and converts images to modern formats such as WebP and JPEG XR without visible quality loss.
- Edge caching: Serves your content from nodes close to each visitor.
- StackCache plugin: A free WordPress caching plugin with automatic or adjustable settings.
- Code minification: Shrinks HTML, CSS and JavaScript files so they download faster.
- Lazy loading: Delays off-screen images and non-essential resources until they’re needed.
- OCSP stapling: Speeds up SSL connections by combining several requests into one.
- HTTP security headers: Control the security headers your site sends from one dashboard.
- IP and country blocking: Block chosen IP addresses or regions.
Managing the CDN
Everything is managed from StackCP, our custom-built control panel.
- Reports: Charts and figures on traffic and performance for each site.
- Switch features on and off: Turn each CDN feature on or off individually.
- Templates: Save a set of performance settings and apply it across all your sites.
- Purge cache: Clear cached files with one click so every edge server serves fresh content.
- Development mode: Pause caching while you work so old files don’t get in the way of your changes.
