Faster WordPress Websites!

We're excited to announce a major performance upgrade across our entire shared hosting fleet. Every WordPress website on our platform now benefits from multiple layers of speed optimization that deliver page load times you'd normally only see on dedicated servers.

What Changed?

We've rolled out a three-tier caching system that dramatically reduces how long it takes for your WordPress site to respond to visitors:

AccelerateWP Page Cache + Redis Object Cache Every WordPress site now has access to AccelerateWP (powered by WP Rocket technology), which saves a ready-to-go HTML version of your pages. Combined with Redis object caching, this cuts out repetitive database lookups and speeds up page generation significantly.

Nginx Static File Serving This is the big one. We've built a custom integration where our Nginx web server delivers your cached pages straight from disk, completely skipping Apache and PHP. Your pages are served as plain HTML files with zero server-side processing.

Cloudflare CDN Integration Sites using Cloudflare benefit from edge caching, which delivers your content from data centers closest to your visitors around the world.

Real Results

Here are actual before-and-after measurements from our fleet:

Website Before After Improvement
Site A (no cache) 4.3s 0.15s 97% faster
Site B (no cache) 3.6s 0.15s 96% faster
Site C (no cache) 2.5s 0.15s 94% faster
Site D (no cache) 5.3s 0.24s 95% faster
Site E (basic cache) 1.0s 0.15s 85% faster

Most sites now respond in about 0.15 seconds. The majority of that time is just the encrypted connection handshake. Actual server processing time is basically zero.

Your Content Updates Instantly

Unlike older caching systems that can serve outdated content for minutes or hours, our setup uses WP Rocket's smart cache management. When you publish a new post, update a page, or change your theme, the cache clears right away. The next visitor sees your fresh content, and everyone after that gets the fast cached version.

What Do I Need To Do?

Nothing! These optimizations have been applied automatically to all WordPress sites across our shared hosting fleet. If your site uses AccelerateWP (which is free and included with your hosting plan), you're already seeing these improvements.

If you haven't turned on AccelerateWP yet, you can activate it from your cPanel dashboard under the AccelerateWP section. Or just reach out to our support team and we'll set it up for you.

For the Tech-Curious

For those who like the technical details:

  • Page cache: AccelerateWP/WP Rocket generates static HTML files
  • Object cache: Redis stores database queries in memory
  • Web server: Nginx serves cached HTML directly via try_files, skipping Apache and PHP entirely
  • Cache invalidation: File-based with no timer. WP Rocket deletes cache files when you make changes, and Nginx immediately falls back to Apache to regenerate the page
  • Mobile support: Separate cache versions for mobile and desktop visitors
  • Security: Logged-in users, form submissions, WooCommerce carts, and authenticated sessions always bypass the cache and go through the full security stack
