Our WordPress platform includes Fastly’s edge cloud content delivery platform. Fastly enhances web and mobile delivery by accelerating dynamic assets and caching unpredictably changing website content. In short, this delivers your website faster and more reliably around the world.
Faster page loads
Poor web and mobile performance can negatively impact customer conversion and retention rates, SEO, and advertising revenue. Fastly’s edge cloud platform accelerates your web and mobile applications while Dynamic Site Acceleration (DSA) speeds up content delivery. We allow you to keep more in cache for longer and retrieve it quicker for faster page load times. Unique features like Origin Shield and Request Collapsing help ensure a seamless user experience even when you need to clear cache.
Caching and purging
Much of today’s content is neither static nor fully dynamic. News headlines, stock prices, weather, and inventory remain static for some period of time and then change unpredictably. We call this type of content “event-driven,” and Fastly’s edge cloud can cache it because it can be purged instantly. Our Instant Purge feature allows you to cache and invalidate content almost as soon as it’s updated on your origin — within 150 milliseconds or less across our global network. This is considerably faster than other CDNs.
Working parallel with Cloudflare
Fastly associates with the industry standard to form an unbeatable network. Consumers expect web pages to load quickly. Slow page load times can lead to high bounce rates, page abandonment, and lower conversion rates. Web pages are becoming increasingly complex and users are more globally dispersed; which degrades the user experience. Cloudflare brings content closer to your users by caching static web content on its network. Image files can be optimized to significantly improve load times, and dynamic content can be compressed and routed on the fastest, least congested path to the end-user.
Compatibility with WP Rocket
Fastly can be simply integrated with WP Rocket onboard website caching. Caching creates an ultra-fast load time, essential for improving Search Engine Optimization and increasing conversions. WP Rocket reduces the weight of your HTML, JavaScript and CSS files through minification. Lighter files means faster load time! WP Rocket’s code is developed according to WordPress best practices. It is clean, commented and has loads of hooks so developers can easily make advanced customizations.
